ABAP string functions

What is the ABAP code to find the last three characters of a string?

data: c TYPE string VALUE 'this is string',
c1(3),
len TYPE i.
len = STRLEN( c ).
len = len - 3.
c1 = c+len(3).
WRITE / c1.
try this

Error While converting xml to sap abap string.

Hi Experts,
As i am doing an cross Application from SAP to .Net and vice versa.I am receiving an xml from .Net and it should be converted to ABAP string Using the following function module SMUM_XML_PARSE
And the following string i am receiving from .net
<Root><qApprovalInfo><RequesterId>xxxx</RequesterId><RequesterName>xxx</RequesterName><ApproverId>xxxx</ApproverId><ApproverLevel>1</ApproverLevel><PendingApprovalId>0200169911</PendingApprovalId><CreatedDate>20/07/2011</CreatedDate><CreatedBy>xx</CreatedBy><ModifiedDate>2011-07-20 16:45</ModifiedDate><ModifiedBy>xxxx</ModifiedBy><ApplicationCode>EPAY</ApplicationCode><WorkFlowCode>EPX</WorkFlowCode><ApprovalStatus>APPROVED</ApprovalStatus><ActionComments><![CDATA[APPROVED(through Desktop)]]></ActionComments><Mode>CREATE</Mode><ActionSource>DESKTOP</ActionSource></qApprovalInfo><qApprovalHidden><Approverl>40002664</Approver><EmployeeId>40016515</EmployeeId></qApprovalHidden></Root>
In this xml i am getting all the values except the <ActionComments><![CDATA[APPROVED(through Desktop)]]></ActionComments>
is their any way to convert that CDATA value?..
have anybody come across the following issue ?...
can anybody provide the solution for this?.

Hi,
SMUM_XML_PARSE is a simplified, unreleased and undocumented version of the powerful, released and documented iXML
If you look at the GET_ELEMENT subroutine in that function module, you'll see that the nodes of type CO_NODE_CDATA_SECTION are simply ignored.
The simpliest thing for you, maybe, is to duplicate the code of SMUM_XML_PARSE (as it is rather easy to handle), and add a section to GET_ELEMENT. You'll have also to use IF_IXML_CDATA_SECTION interface and ixml_iid_cdata_section constant.
Documentation is here: [SAP Library: Interface if_ixml_cdata_section|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/bb/576658dca511d4990b00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm ]

Search and replace string function

Hello, I am using the "search and replace string" function and it does nt seem to work consistently for me. I am using it in a situation where I am taking an array of strings, converting this into a spreadsheet string then deleting all of the commas. Has anyone experienced the same behavior? I have searched through other posts and found other simular faults but none of the fixes worked for this. I can post the code it needed.
Thanks,
Andrew

I agree that commas are often not desirable, especially if your software should also work in countries where comma is used as a decimal seperator.
Where are the commas coming from? Does (1) each element of the original array have one (or more), do you (2) use comma as seperator if you convert it to a spreadhseet string?
For (1), you might just strip out the comma for each element right in the loop. For case (2) you would simply use a different separator to begin with, of course.
Btw: you are abusing a WHILE loop as a FOR loop, because you have a fixed number of iterations. Please replace it with a FOR loop. If you use a FOR loop, LabVIEW can manage memory much more efficiently, because it can allocate the entire output array before the loop starts. For While loops, the total number of iterations is not known to the compiler. (Of course a real program would also stop the loop if an error occurs. In this case you would need to stay woth the WHILE loop. )
Do you have a simple example how the raw array elements look like. How many commas are there?

Error in XSLT mapping while using string functions

Hi All,
While using tokenize() and substring-before() functions in XSLT mapping,we are getting an error.The error message is Unexpected symbol "" So while using string functions in XSLT mapping do we have to use any header functions.
Please through light on syntax etc.,of string functions in XSLT.
Thanx in advance,

Inserting records in the ABAP exit function (hashed table XTH_DATA)

Hi all,
I want to add records in the logic of an ABAP exit function. Due table XTH_DATA being a hashed table the normal insert or append is not possible.
My logic MUST move the data to a temporary table (ITAB) where the logic is executed (modifying KYF values and creating new records.
In order to quickly get to a result I have solved the problem in an awful way through hardcoding the structure of ITAB to be the same as XTH_DATA is in this specific case.
I would like to know if someone has an exmaple of a nice way to dynamically create an ITAB with the structure of XTH_DATA?
At the end it should be possible to do: XTH_DATA[] = itab[].
Greetings,
Martin

Hi Martin,
the only way I know is to solve this problem with sort of pointers, field symbols. Roughly spoken the idea is you lookup the structure of xth_data in table dd03l. you define an internal table of type any. you loop around your xth_data table and assign the value of each column of xth_table to your internal table. then you do your your adding. Hopefully then you can simply assign xth_data to your itab.

Jürgen

Wrong use of "Scan From String" function in a while loop?

Hi,
I've got a "Scan From String" function inside a while loop. On the first iteration it converts correctly the number passed by the input string (for example 4) But on the second one it has only spaces (one or more \s) as input string.
I expected to obtain a zero as output (as it does always that it can not make any conversions, as I am supposed to) but indeed, i subtracts 1 from the previous number (according to the number indicated as example I would obtain a 3 as output)
What's wrong with this?
Does the function fails on this case?
The rest of the diagram o the VI is expected to manage a 0 on that situation, like others in which the conversion is not made.
Andres.

I have simplified the VI evading calls to other VIs and trying to reproduce the mistake.
The type of string I introduce to reproduce the mistake is:
clock 3 (30) clock (40)
Forgetting to introduce a number between the second "clock" and the following parenthesis, I would manage it programmatically with code that isn't included.
Then "Scan From String" is supposed to do not make a conversion. But it leaves a 2 as output (in this example)
I have realised, unbelievable but true, that it has matter with the number I substract to the output number (if it were 2, I would obtain 1 as output and so on)
Excluding that, I got the conversion made before as output, 3, on the second time that "Scan From String" executes. But, how can this func
tion as bad?
I am using LV4 on an old PC. I have tried to reproduce it with LV6 and it works. But it isn't desirable for me, I would have to convert a lot of VIs and surely I will find a lot of errors due to the conversion (I have already tried)

Unless maybe if you're using J2ME and have very tight memory requirements (are you?) either an array or a Vector should be fine to hold 8000 strings.
So I'm guessing, either:
1) you're using J2ME, have a device with tight memory, in which case you probably need a redesign, either to move data off the device and into an online service or the like, or possibly to use the record db system that's in one of the J2ME profiles (although 8000 seems like a lot of stuff to put in such a small form factor device).
2) the strings are in fact enormous, in which case array-or-vector isn't the issue
3) there's some other problem. maybe you have a runaway recursive method or something.

Contains (String function) is not working in switch condition .

Hi All ,
I have a interface in which there are two projects.
1 notification interface
2 DFW interface .
Project 1 Has Mediator in it where I am checking a Filter condition on DESTINATION PARTNER ID as below
contains($in.request/inp1:TSOHoldCommon/inp1:Destination_Partner_ID,'DFW')
as you all know this is the string function(containd) I have used.
But there is a problem I am facing , when i use the same condition in DFW INTERFACE in all the switch conditions i have used .
So now the problem is in switch condition used in BPEL of DFW INTERFACE.
I have a asign statement after this condition,and i am getting assign pending so flow is faulting.
please help me in this regard or give me any suggestions for fixing this .
BPEL VERSION 1.1
SOA 11.1.1.6

Please post the error log which you are getting in EM.

[OT] User-Defined string Functions Oracle PL/SQL

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am pleased to offer the following string functions Oracle PL/SQL:
GETALLWORDS(): Inserts the words from a string into the table.
GETWORDCOUNT(): Counts the words in a string.
GETWORDNUM(): Returns a specified word from a string.
OCCURS(): Returns the number of times a character expression occurs within another character expression (including overlaps).
OCCURS2(): Returns the number of times a character expression occurs within another character expression (excluding overlaps).
PADC(): Returns a string from an expression, padded with spaces or characters to a specified length on the both sides.
STRTRAN(): Searches a character expression for occurrences of a second character expression, and then replaces each occurrence with a third character expression. Unlike a built-in function Replace, STRTRAN has three additional parameters.
STRFILTER(): Removes all characters from a string except those specified.
RAT(): Returns the numeric position of the last (rightmost) occurrence of a character string within another character string (including overlaps). The search performed by RAT() is case-sensitive. RAT similar to the PL/SQL function INSTR.
ATC(): Returns the beginning numeric position of the first occurrence of a character expression within another character expression, counting from the leftmost character (including overlaps). The search performed by ATC() is case-insensitive. ATC similar to the PL/SQL function INSTR.
RATC(): Returns the numeric position of the last (rightmost) occurrence of a character string within another character string (including overlaps). The search performed by RATC() is case-insensitive. RATC similar to the PL/SQL function INSTR.
AT2(): Returns the beginning numeric position of the first occurrence of a character expression within another character expression, counting from the leftmost character (excluding overlaps). The search performed by AT2() is case-sensitive. AT2 similar to the PL/SQL function INSTR.
REPLICATE(): Returns a character string that contains a specified character expression repeated a specified number of times.
ROMANTOARAB(): Returns the number equivalent of a specified character Roman numeral expression (from I to MMMCMXCIX).
Plus, there are versions for MS SQL SERVER, SYBASE ASA, DB2, MS SQL SERVER 2005 SQLCLR.
More than 8000 people have already downloaded my functions. I hope you will find them useful as well.

Returning a collection like that is a bad idea to begin with. That isn't scaleable and wastes memory.
Either return a REF CURSOR and let the client FETCH the rows or use a PIPELINED function and let the client query it like they would a table.
Here is an example similar to yours that uses a PIPELINED function.
create or replace
    package pkg2
      as
        CURSOR emp_cur is (SELECT empno, ename, job, mgr, deptno FROM emp);
        type pkg_emp_table_type is table of emp_cur%rowtype;
        function get_emp(
                         p_deptno number
          return pkg_emp_table_type
          pipelined;
end;
create or replace
    package body pkg2
      as
        function get_emp(
                         p_deptno number
          return pkg_emp_table_type
          pipelined
          is
          begin
              for v_emp_rec in (SELECT empno, ename, job, mgr, deptno
                                FROM emp where deptno = p_deptno) loop
                pipe row(v_emp_rec);
              end loop;
          end;
end;
select * from table(pkg2.get_emp(20));
       EMPNO ENAME      JOB              MGR     DEPTNO
        7369 DALLAS     CLERK2          7902         20

Supplementary characters and string functions

I am using AL32UTF8 as my database character set and plan to store Japanese supplementary characters in the DB character set itself. Do I need to use any special string functions for these supplementary Japanese characters.

With the AL32UTF8 character set, supplementary characters like any other characters, except that they are the widest (4 bytes). You just need standard multibyte processing.
With AL16UTF16 (NCHAR), and depending on your needs, you may want to use certain SQL function variants that have 4 in their name: LENGTH4, INSTR4, SUBSTR4, LIKE4.
When retrieving AL32UTF8 supplementary characters through JDBC or OCI in UTF-16 mode, you have to take care of the fact that one AL32UTF8 supplementary character becomes 2 UTF-16 code units (a surrogate pair). This is important for buffer allocations, length calculations, and any code that can split strings into substrings.

ABAP RFC Function to merger table data?

Hi All,
Has anybody tried to merger that from multiple table in 1 table using ABAP RFC function module.
I have to merger 3 table into 1 which I am not able to do using Combine or Union operater.
One solution suggested in the below thread by Marcel was to use ABAP RFC function mod..I dont know how to do that.
If anybody has tried please share.
Union operator between tables
Thanks,
Murtuza.

Thank you for the reply,
I got the solution without ABAP code.
I created a structure of table (Key Figures) in Column of query designer and then use that structure in VC to output table.
There I had used formula for each KeyFigures using IF ...something like this:-
NVAL(IF(@Key_Figures=="Prior Sales",0,IF(@Key_Figures=="Price",NVAL(IF(#ID[ACA257]@Price_Impact_value>=0,#ID[ACA257]@Prior_Sales_Value,#ID[ACA257]@Prior_Sales_Value+#ID[ACA257]@Price_Impact_value)),IF(@Key_Figures=="FX",#ID[ACA257]@GAP_3,IF(@Key_Figures=="Volume",#ID[ACA257]@GAP_4,IF(@Key_Figures=="Lost Mix",#ID[ACA257]@GAP_5_6,IF(@Key_Figures=="Gain Mix",#ID[ACA257]@GAP_5_6,IF(@Key_Figures=="Current Sales",0,123))))))))
This way I got the output table as required.
Pls see this thread for the requirement.

Diplay Message with ABAP Planning Function (same message several times)

Hello experts,
I use a ABAP Planning Function (custom developed funtion type) to vaildate the planning data.
I want to display the validation results in a message box in the workbook. Therefor I use the Parameter I_R_MSG of the "Execute" Method.
This works fine, BUT
I want to display the same message several times.
Example (I want an output in the message box like this):
AREA1
Error Message A
AREA 2
Error Message A
Error Message B
The system merge the identical messages. And the output is this:
AREA 1
Error Message A
AREA 2
Error Message B
Can I avoid the automatical merge of identical messages in the monitor?
Thanks
Johannes

Hello Johannes,
I think the only way is to use a field for (e.g. MSGV4) to group the messages since the system compares
all fields msgty, ..., msgv4 to identify duplicates. So if your messages do not use msgv4 the above suggestion
should work.

Gregor

SAP ABAP Techno Functional Consultant

Hi all,
What kind of profile is this? I'm talking about 'SAP ABAP Techno Functional Consultant'. I'm thinking in a multimodule consultant with strong ABAP skills. Am I right?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Eduardo

Thanks
Its clear that there are consultants with a shameful behavior, overselling themselves. But, in the other side that Jeyakanthan
tell us (an ABAPer with strong functional skills). If you are a functional with 10/15 years of experience, with 2 or more modules and you have ABAP skills (not all, of course, you develop your own enhancements/BADI/BTE, your ALV lists, perhaps you have problems with smartforms -ie: you are slow in the development of forms-, a little bit of ABAP OO, you are able to do traces and check bottlenecks...) ¿How do you sell yourself? ¿How do you improve your possibilities in the market?

Eduardo
