syntax of FIND command ?

[TMNielsen]

Hi

During upgrade to WAS 7.0 I have to convert a SEARCH command to a FIND command.

int_edidd is a standard tabel.

Old:

SEARCH int_edidd FOR 'E1EDK04'.

New:

DATA: l_segment TYPE STRING VALUE 'E1EDK04'.

FIND FIRST OCCURRENCE OF l_segment IN TABLE int_edidd

MATCH LINE sy-tabix.

Syntax error:

Als Zeilentyp der Tabelle "INT_EDIDD" wurde im CHAR MODE ein zeichenartiges bzw. im BYTE MODE ein byteartiges Feld erwartet.

What is wrong ? Is it a unicode problem ?

best regards

I think we cannot use the addition FIRST OCCURENCE with FIND. It can be used with REPLACE.

Thanks Kiran

but no - thats not it.

according to documentation the syntax include FIRST OCCURENCE:

FIND [{FIRST OCCURRENCE}|{ALL OCCURRENCES} OF] pattern

IN TABLE itab [table_range]

[IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE]

[{RESPECTING|IGNORING} CASE]

[MATCH COUNT mcnt]

{ {[MATCH LINE mlin]

[MATCH OFFSET moff]

[MATCH LENGTH mlen]}

| [RESULTS result_tab|result_wa] }

[SUBMATCHES s1 s2 ...].

Can you check with:

DATA: l_segment(7) TYPE C VALUE 'E1EDK04'.

rgds,

Thanks TM

but your solution doesn't work.

Example from documentation using string type

:

DATA: patt TYPE string VALUE `now`,

text TYPE string,

result_tab TYPE match_result_tab.

FIELD-SYMBOLS <match> LIKE LINE OF result_tab.

FIND ALL OCCURRENCES OF patt IN

`Everybody knows this is nowhere`

RESULTS result_tab.

LOOP AT result_tab ASSIGNING <match>.

WRITE: / <match>-offset, <match>-length.

ENDLOOP.

I translated the error message from German to English in Google.

The English version of the error is

"As line type of the table “INT_EDIDD” in the CHAR MODE a indication-like and/or in the BYTE MODE a byte-like field was expected. "

Might Help...

hi,

DATA: text TYPE STRING.

text = 'Everyone knows this'.

FIND 'know' IN text.

if sy-subrc = 0.

write:/ 'found'.

endif.

Hi Manohar

Thanks for your reply.

However, i'm not looking for the syntax to search in a text string.

I'm looking for the syntax to search in a table.
