SPLIT Command

[Former Member]

I am trying to use the SPLIT command for splitting a field to an Internal table.I have added the code snippets in case 1 the program runs fine but in case 2 it creates a problem.When data is assinged manaully the split works fine but when I am uploading a fiel and trying to use the uploaded data it fails.

Any help in this regard is much appreciated.

CASE 1 :

TYPES : BEGIN OF gty_table,

field(1024) TYPE c,

END OF gty_table.

TYPES : BEGIN OF gty_tabl,

field1(10) TYPE c,

field2(10) TYPE c,

field3(10) TYPE c,

field4(10) TYPE c,

field5(10) TYPE c,

END OF gty_tabl.

DATA : gt_table TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF gty_table WITH HEADER LINE.

DATA : gt_tabl TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF gty_tabl WITH HEADER LINE.

gt_table-field = 'AUART#VKORG#VTWEG#KUNNR#MATNR#MENGE#MEINS#WERKS'.

READ TABLE gt_table INDEX 1.

SPLIT gt_table-field AT '#' INTO TABLE gt_tabl.

CASE 2 :

Table gt_table gets populated from a TXT file upload and has same data value as CASE 1 but doesnt work.

READ TABLE gt_table INDEX 1.

SPLIT gt_table-field AT '#' INTO TABLE gt_tabl.

Hi Gaurav,

The '#' you see in the file is not actually a # but it must be a Line feed character or a horozontal tab or a end of line indicator.

That is the reason the case 2 is failing.

so try your code with

SPLIT gt_table-field AT CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB INTO TABLE gt_tabl.

HI,

To split a character string into two or more smaller strings, use the SPLIT statement as follows:

SPLIT <c> AT <del> INTO <c1> ... <cn>.

The system searches the field <c> for the separator <del>. The parts before and after the separator are placed in the target fields <c1> ... <cn>.

To place all fragments in different target fields, you must specify enough target fields. Otherwise, the last target field is filled with the rest of the field <c> and still contains delimiters.

If all target fields are long enough and no fragment has to be truncated, SY-SUBRC is set to 0. Otherwise it is set to 4.

DATA: STRING(60),

P1(20) VALUE '++++++++++++++++++++',

P2(20) VALUE '++++++++++++++++++++',

P3(20) VALUE '++++++++++++++++++++',

P4(20) VALUE '++++++++++++++++++++',

DEL(3) VALUE '***'.

STRING = ' Part 1 *** Part 2 *** Part 3 *** Part 4 *** Part 5'.

WRITE STRING.

SPLIT STRING AT DEL INTO P1 P2 P3 P4.

WRITE / P1.

WRITE / P2.

WRITE / P3.

WRITE / P4.

The output appears as follows:

Part 1 *** Part 2 *** Part 3 *** Part 4 *** Part 5

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4 *** Part 5

Note that the contents of the fields P1 ...P4 are totally overwritten and that they are filled out with trailing blanks.

You can also split a string into the individual lines of an internal table as follows:

SPLIT <c> AT <del> INTO TABLE <itab>.

The system adds a new line to the internal table <itab> for each part of the string.

Regards.

THIS IS because of tabdelimit.

you need to split at CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB

SPLIT gt_table-field AT cl_abap_char_utilties=>horizontal_tab INTO TABLE gt_tabl.

this will work

whenever you are using the same internal table for diffrent cases, try to refresh and clear the internal table before processing starts for each case.

Try this and see.

PROBABLY YOU MIGHT HAVE DONE THE MISTAKE WHILE UPLOADING THE FILE

IT IS WORKING AS IN THE CASE1

I TRIED IT.

IT IS WORKING PROPERLY

THE CODE IS

TYPES : BEGIN OF gty_table,

field(1024) TYPE c,

END OF gty_table.

TYPES : BEGIN OF gty_tabl,

field1(10) TYPE c,

field2(10) TYPE c,

field3(10) TYPE c,

field4(10) TYPE c,

field5(10) TYPE c,

END OF gty_tabl.

DATA : gt_table TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF gty_table WITH HEADER LINE.

DATA : gt_tabl TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF gty_tabl WITH HEADER LINE.

*gt_table-field = 'AUART#VKORG#VTWEG#KUNNR#MATNR#MENGE#MEINS#WERKS'.

*READ TABLE gt_table INDEX 1.

*SPLIT gt_table-field AT '#' INTO TABLE gt_tabl.
