Replace character space with u00A0 in string

[Former Member]

I created a Content Management System for a client. This way they can dynamically change webtext for clients. The only problem is that the text is stored in 255 length field (longer is not possible in the database). If the last character is a space character then only 254 characters are stored. The next time you retrieve the all lines the last word of the line and the first word of the next line are concatenated without space.

I tried replace all occurrences of ' ' in string with ' '. But then I got a short dump! Trying to catch the last character checking if it is a space also doesn't work.

Does anybody has a solution.

Just used

while sy-subrc eq 0.

replace space with ' ' into input_string.

endwhile.

Is that your solution? Seems like it should be ?

I am using methods and controller. For example if I use the code from function SSM_REPLACE_SPACE_BY_CHAR in a method then it does not work. The character space is a very rare character. Within methods using <b>if wa_string = space</b> of if wa_string cs space does not work.
