Have a look at this code I hope it will help.

DATA: p_big_text TYPE line1000 .
  DATA: p_line TYPE string .

  p_big_text = '11111111112222222222333333333344444' .

  DATA: it_text TYPE TABLE OF string .

  WHILE p_big_text NE space.

    CALL FUNCTION 'TEXT_SPLIT'
      EXPORTING
        length = 10
        text   = p_big_text
      IMPORTING
        line   = p_line
        rest   = p_big_text.

    IF p_line IS NOT INITIAL .
      APPEND p_line TO it_text .
    ENDIF .

  ENDWHILE.

Using Debug look at it_text
