Sorry - maybe the term operations inferred a different connotation.

I'm looking for a (complete) list of functionality for querying/manipulating variables of type string.

Things like substring, strlen, etc.

Thanks...

From top of my mind

DATA: string TYPE string VALUE 'ALH(9(__(*JJJ'.
DATA: lv_len TYPE i.

SHIFT string LEFT DELETING LEADING space.
WRITE: string.
string = string+2(3).  "offset
WRITE: string.
DESCRIBE FIELD string LENGTH lv_len in BYTE MODE.
write: lv_len.
DESCRIBE FIELD string LENGTH lv_len in CHARACTER MODE.
write: lv_len.

DO 25 TIMES.
  DO 25 TIMES.
    CONCATENATE sy-abcde+sy-index(1) string INTO string.
  ENDDO.
ENDDO.
WRITE: string.

Hi,

Test my Sample code in the following Thread may it will help you out if you want to use STRLEN and divide the given String to sub strings.

in this Thread the Requirement was to Divide a String to 3 Character each sub string so this Sample code dividing the given string to 3 length of possible sub strings, you can the idea from this.
