Replace a variable in a string by an internal table field value

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a internal table with a field message of length 1500.

I have to replace &1 and &2 in the message field with the value of year and Amount.

For example:

ITAB-Message - 'The letter is for the year &1 and the total amount to be payed is &2'.

In this, &1 should be replace with the year value.

and &2 by amount value.

Can you help me in this?

Thanks,

Vimala

Try this

REPORT ZPROG .


data: begin of itab,
      msg(255) type c,
      end of itab.

data: itab1 like itab occurs 0 with header line.

data: year(4) type n value '1995',
      amount(4) type n value '4000'.


itab1-msg = 'The letter is for year &1 and total amount to payed is &2'
.

replace '&1' with year into itab1-msg.

replace '&2' with amount into itab1-msg.


write:/ itab1-msg.
