adding hyphens(-) between the characters

[former_member232455]

Hi Friends,

I have one requirement,from sender we are receiving the 16 characters value and target is expecting 23 characters value including hyphen between every 2 characters.

For example:

source value: abcdefghijklmnop

Target expected value: ab-cd-ef-gh-ij-kl-mn-op

could you please suggest how can i achieve this with simple UDF?

I tried through standard functions, it's working fine.. but i need UDF for the same

Regards,

Janardhan

Hi Janardhan!

You can use UDF which I posted in this thread

http://scn.sap.com/thread/3913013

with small changes.

Guess its possible without UDF if the length is fixed as 16.

yes Raghu, it is possible with out UDF also.But with standard mapping it's look like very big mapping. so i just want to know is there any UDF for the same.

Hi

Code goes something like this ...you have to modify it with parameter variable you are passing

Strina a="abcdefghijklmnop";

String s=new String();

String temp=new String();

int j=0;

for(int I=2;I<=a.length();I+=2)

{

if(I!=a.length())

{

s=a.substring(j,I)+"_";

temp=temp.concat(s);

j=j+2;

}

if(I==a.length())

{

s=a.substring(j,I);

temp=temp.concat(s);

}

}

return temp;
