offsets into hex string

[Former Member]

Currently I am trying to concatenate multiple hex values from a tvarv into a single string. To do this I am trying to dynamically tell the code to write the values in specific positions but when I try to do this the compiler throws a warning that this is obsolete functionality and the debugger is showing value l_low(l_displace) below becomes l_low0. How do I pass a dynamic value to the offset?

DATA: l_low_temp(2000) type x,

l_low(2000) type x,

l_hex_tvarv(8) type x,

l_displace type i.

DATA: BEGIN OF lt_tvarv OCCURS 0,

low LIKE tvarv-low,

END OF lt_tvarv.

CLEAR: lt_tvarv, l_low_temp, l_low.

REFRESH: lt_tvarv.

SELECT low

INTO TABLE lt_tvarv

FROM tvarv

WHERE name = 'Z_EXCLUDE_HEX'.

DESCRIBE TABLE lt_tvarv LINES sy-tabix.

IF sy-tabix > 0.

LOOP AT lt_tvarv.

l_displace = ( sy-tabix - 1 ) * 4.

l_hex_tvarv = lt_tvarv-low(4).

IF sy-tabix = 1.

l_low = l_hex_tvarv.

ELSE.

l_low+(l_displace) = l_hex_tvarv.

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

ENDIF.

Instead of

DESCRIBE TABLE lt_tvarv LINES sy-tabix.
IF sy-tabix > 0.
LOOP AT lt_tvarv.
l_displace = ( sy-tabix - 1 ) * 4.
l_hex_tvarv = lt_tvarv-low(4).
IF sy-tabix = 1.
l_low = l_hex_tvarv.
ELSE.
l_low+(l_displace) = l_hex_tvarv.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.

...try this:

if lt_tvarv[ ] is not initial.
loop at lt_tvarv.
l_displace = (sy-tabix - 1)*4.     
"first loop = 0, second = 4, thrird = 8 and so on

l_low+l_displace(4) = lt_tvarv-low+l_displace(4).     
"first loop l_low+0(4) = lt_trvav-low+0(4).   "zero here is allowed
"second     l_low+4(4) = lt_trvav-low+4(4).
"third      l_low+8(4) = lt_trvav-low+8(4).
...
endloop.
endif.

Was able to get it to work this way...

SELECT low

INTO TABLE lt_tvarv

FROM tvarv

WHERE name = 'Z_EXCLUDE_HEX'.

DESCRIBE TABLE lt_tvarv LINES sy-tabix.

IF sy-tabix > 0.

LOOP AT lt_tvarv.

• Note: number of characters will be 8 even through number of bytes

• to shift will be 4. Confirmed this via debugging.

l_displace = ( sy-tabix - 1 ) * 4. "shifting number of bytes

l_hex_tvarv = lt_tvarv-low(8). " characters to add.

• First record

IF sy-tabix = 1.

l_low = l_hex_tvarv.

ELSE. " additional records

l_low+l_displace = l_hex_tvarv.

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.
