Table with fileld (data type string)

[tomasz-piwowarski]

Hi experts

On the ERP system I found a Z* table with have one of the fields type string (data type string).

When I whant to display data from this field i see only first 50 char.

How I can see all content of this field?

Is there same FM with show me all content of this field type string?

I need to split content of this field to several other fields and extract to BW...

Thanks from advance

Explain how you "display data from this field", because I suspect it's the problem!

[tomasz-piwowarski]

Data: lv_field type Z_table-field_type_string.

select single field_type_string from Z_table into lv_field

where...

When I debug I see that lv_field is type C lenght 50...

in debug if you set lv_field+49(2) it works?

[tomasz-piwowarski]

I tried this at the begining (lv_field+49(2)) but it causes abap error

Invalid access to a string (offset and length too big)

Can you share a screenshot of your se11 transaction with the field definition?

[FredericGirod]

you could check the real size of a field table :

SE11 -- enter table name -- Display

menu Utilities (french translatation) > Execution object > Display

Other question: how did you make sure that in the table, the field contains more than 50 characters?
