Statement SPLIT.

[Former Member]

Hi,

i have a simle VAR1 (CHAR255) which contains text

like 'test1morelines' or 'contain1moretext'' as example.

I will only use the text before 1.

i split at like this: split VAR1 at '1' into VAR1 dummy.

It works OK, but i have to use the seconc VAR dummy.

Is there any statement that deletes all char starting at vaue 1?

thanks,

regards, Dieter

Hi,

Instead of

split VAR1 at '1' into VAR1 dummy.

, you can use

split VAR1 at '1' into VAR1 .

hiii

first use FIND statement for finding '1' in variable then use sy-fdpos to get that position and then you can replace all value by 'SPACE' using offset (following abap statement)

REPLACE SECTION [OFFSET off] [LENGTH len] OF dobj WITH new 
                [IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE].

hi,

Instead of Using SPLIT you can find the position of the '1' in the String.

Search '1' in <String>.

Sy-FDPOS contains the position os the '1'.

Extract the String using Offset.

string2 = string1+0(sy-fd-pos).

the dummy is necessary to take the "garbage"; it cant be just thrown away.

Another way is to use the FIND command to the position of "1", checking if evrything is ok, then calcualting the len of desired string from the position (obvious minus 1) and then use s substring command like var1+ü(len).

To be honest, its not shorter or more beautiful..

Hi,

thanks to all. I think there is no better statement. I will use split with dummy.

Bhumika: split VAR1 at '1' into VAR1 .

gives an syntaxerror (ECC6).

i close the thread. Thanks again.

Use this syntax

SPLIT var1 AT '1' INTO: TABLE itab.

This table would be of single column type string and will have

test

morelines' or

contain

moretext''

Hope this helps!
