RKD_WORD_WRAP with string input

[Former Member]

hi all,

I need to split a string with RKD_WORD_WRAP, but it seems it takes only chars as input, so I would like to do this: create a char variable dynamically as long as the string in input and then pass it to the RKD_WORD_WRAP. Can anybody please tell me how can I do it? I think I should use field symbol but I don't know them very much.

Thanks in advance.

RKD_WORD_WRAP has a limitation to split at a maximum of 3 lines..I wanted you to know about it before proceeding...

I used in this way with no lines but table for result for testing:

DATA the_string(300) TYPE c VALUE 'Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita mi ritrovai per una selva oscura  ché la diritta via era smarrita. Ahi quanto a dir qual era è cosa dura 5  esta selva selvaggia e aspra e forte    che nel pensier rinova la paura! '.

CALL FUNCTION 'RKD_WORD_WRAP'
  EXPORTING
    textline                  = the_string
   DELIMITER                 = ' '
   OUTPUTLEN                 = 15
 TABLES
   OUT_LINES                 = text_table

with this output

Nel mezzo del
cammin di
nostra vita mi
ritrovai per
una selva
oscura  ché la
diritta via
era smarrita.
Ahi quanto a
dir qual era è
cosa dura 5
esta selva
selvaggia e
aspra e forte
  che nel
pensier rinova
la paura!

so it works with many lines as need: they're just put in the table

now I'll check for split_string FM working ...

Hello J@y,

Is it restricted to 3 lines only? I disagree with you my friend. You have the table OUT_LINES which has got all the data in multiple lines.

So where does the 3 lines restriction come into picture?

BR,

I used in a SAP script and I had to use the export parameters OUT_LINE1 OUT_LINE2 OUT_LINE3... tables OUT_LINES was not suitable for my requirement.... I guess its fine in your case.

HI Gabriele Montori,

Why don't you use the FM's

STRING_SPLIT

COPI_STRING_SPLIT

for more info.

hope it helps you.

Thanks

so concluding,

there is no FM that allow me to split a string in substring of a given length on a a given separator: I have to do it manually...

I tried and failed to find one, and did it manually instead.

Hello Gabriele,

I'm facing at the same prioblem.

You declared the_string(300) type c.

Is it possible to use an input variable at 720 digit?

I tried but is it trunc ... do you have another idea ?

tks a lot.
