Splitting string into noncharacter fields

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have an internal table with character type data.

I have some 200 structures having some non-character fields like DEC and INT.

Now i want to split the line of internal table in to these structure fields one by one.

But the problem is SPLIT is a string function and only allows character type Field attributes.

Is there any way out, to SPLIT string in some non character fields?

Hi,

Insted of Splitting the ITAB data using SPLIT, why don't you use the <b>offsets</b>,

Move:itab-data+0(10) to DEC.

Move:itab-data+10(20) to DEC.

Hi Sudheer,

Offsets can be used..but the problem is length is not fixed.

I mean that i need to split at ';'.

Is there any FM available which performs the similar task that is performed by wrapper classes in JAVA?

Hey,

Using SPLIT only will work if you do it on character types, so you should do it first to a char type and then to a non-char.

Hope this helps
