Answer 1

here is how I would do it:
1) convert the input (short text) table to string
2) apply this code to the string:
DATA: lv_text TYPE text40,
          lv_length TYPE i.
WHILE lv_string IS NOT INITIAL.
  lv_length = 39.
  lv_text = lv_string.
  WHILE lv_text+lv_length(1) NE space AND lv_length GE 0.
       lv_text = lv_text(lv_length).
       lv_length = lv_length - 1.
  ENDWHILE.
  IF lv_length GE 0.
     APPEND lv_text TO lt_short_text.
  ENDIF.
   lv_length = lv_length + 1.
   SHIFT lv_string LEFT BY lv_length PLACES.
ENDWHILE.
