Doubt in using replace statement

Hi all,
I have a requirement where user will enter more than 1 label no in a screen, which will be populated internally in a table by SAP with ## for every ENTER button pressed by the user. the internal table populated by SAP will be having values like this. 11111111111##22222222222##3333333333
I need to separate the values from ## and move it to another internal table. I used replace statement to replace ##. But its not working. I dont know what could be the problem. Can any one suggest me in doing this.
POINTS PROMISED
Regards,
Buvana

You will need to use the replace, but you need to be searching for cl_abap_char_utilities=>CR_LF in the REPLACE statement, the ## is an internal representation of the CR_LF, so use
replace cl_abap_char_utilities=>CR_LF with .....

Problem with Replace statement?

Hi Guys,
             I am using Replace statement for replacing '%20' in a partucular field like given below
" Replace All occurrences of REGEX '%20' in I_ZSTR_BPSITEUSER-FIRSTNAME with space ."
   But the problem is if Firstname = " Gopi%20%20%20A " after using this replace i am getting as
" GopiA " but what my req is i need like "Gopi   A"(i want spaces in %20 place)so how to get it?
Thanks,
Gopi

Hi,
Try this..
DATA: patt TYPE string VALUE '%20',
      text TYPE char100 VALUE 'Gopi%20%20%20A'.
DATA: result_tab TYPE match_result_tab.
DATA: v_length TYPE i.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <match> LIKE LINE OF result_tab.
* Find
FIND ALL OCCURRENCES OF patt IN
     text
     RESULTS result_tab.
SORT result_tab BY offset DESCENDING.
* Replace
LOOP AT result_tab ASSIGNING <match>.
v_length = <match>-length - 1.
text+<match>-offset(v_length) = space.
SHIFT text+<match>-offset LEFT DELETING LEADING space.
text+<match>-offset(1) = space.
ENDLOOP.
WRITE: / text.

Can we use Loop Statement for Ranges

Hi Friends,
I have a range say R_Range. I need to loop at each line item and get the values in another range R_New_Range, i have to count the number of items in R_new_range. How is it possible.
I know range is nothing but an internal table. So we can direcly use Move statements or so ...,
But my question is .....
My R_range has values as below
'I' 'EQ' '001'
'I' 'EQ' '002'
'I' 'BT' '003' '007'
'I' 'EQ' '008'
I have to move all these values to R_New_range and my count of items should be '8'.
How can i do that????????
Expecting ur answers....
Thanks in advance
Cheers,
R.Kripa.

hey friends,
Its nice to see the replies.... but i think i had confused u all with the question
Now i'll explain u all in detail ....
See i have 15000 projects ( eg., AAA111... ) and 100 GL accounts ( eg., 123443... ) .....
I have to get the costs from COSS and COSP tables for all the projects - GL account combinations which leads to some 1500000 entries ..... So it is giving me a SQL Dump "DBIF_RSQL_INVALID_RSQL" .........
Description of the Dump is
Error in the module RSQL accessing the database interface
An exception occurred. This exception is dealt with in more detail below
. The exception, which is assigned to the class 'CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB', was
neither
caught nor passed along using a RAISING clause, in the procedure
"GET_COSP_COSS" "(FORM)"
Since the caller of the procedure could not have expected this exception
to occur, the running program was terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
The SQL statement generated from the SAP Open SQL Statement violates a
restriction imposed by the database system used in R/3.
Possible errors:
o The maximum size of an SQL statement has been exceeded.
o The statement contains too many input variables.
o The space needed for the input data exceeds the available memory.
o ...
You can usually find details in the system log (SM21) and in the
developer trace of the work process (ST11).
If an error occurs the developer trace often informs you about the
current restrictions.
So now i want to fine tune the program so that the execution works perfectly and get me the values for all the data 1500000 :-|
Now :
My Projects are stored in the form of a range R_Range
I have to loop at this range and then process 100 records at a time and then again take other 100 records .... i'll count till 100 records by getting loopaing at the range and for each loop pass i'll increment the counter ....
I am clear till this .....
If record consist of 'EQ' option .... then ofcourse we can consider the total record to be 1 record and we can add 1 to counter ......
But if the record consist of 'BT' option ...... then how can we loop that and get the number of -low numbers in that range and add to my counter ????
Hope iam clear with my question
If not do revert back ....
Thanks in advance for the replies
Cheers,
R.Kripa.
My Doubt is ....

If we use DML statement in function then that function can be used inside s

if we use DML statement in function then that function can be used inside select query or any DML query?

select f from t2;I think you meant to query t1.
It works if the function is an autonomous transaction:
create or replace function f return number
is
PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;
begin
    update t1 set c=2;
    commit;
    return 1;
end;
select f from t1But as Billy said why would you want to do DML this way. And this is not the way autonomous procedures should be used either.

Can I use if statement in SQL???

Hello everyone.
I know that this is a silly question. The answer is no. Instead I should use decode function.
But what if I dont know all possible outcomes, can I still use decode function?
Also, I have created a view, in the where clause i want to use if statement. Is it possible to do?

Advantages of using prepared statement..... ?

can anyone please tell me that what r the advantages of using prepared statements.
for eg in case if statement object is executed inside a for loop where query is executed multiple times the sql query is compiled outside loop and therefore compilation is done only once. which makes sense
But if there the query is not executed multiple times then what is the real benifit of using prepared statement . because the statement object will be closed after executing the query.
and a new statement object will be created when other user access the same code.
please clearify my doubts
thanks
Pankaj

Other advantages of using PreparedStatement:
1. It's easier to create SQL that looks like "Select This, That, TheOther from Something where ID=? and Usage=?" than to try to generate that with string concatenations.
2. You don't have to deal with escaping quote characters that happen to appear in strings you want to insert in your database.
3. PreparedStatements can do some things that Statement can't, such as updating very large text columns.

Doubt in Drop Table statement

Hi,
what will happen(internally), when we use DROP TABLE <table name>?
Could you please elaborate for the above?
Version : Oracle 9.2
For example:
If we use DML statements. It ll record the changes in redo log/archive log.
My doubt is...
i use DROP TABLE <table name>;
What operation takes place?
Will it record the changes in redo log/archive log file?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You can start 10046 trace and see what all happens when you fire a drop table command.
Different Version and different functionalities would do additional task.
eg: Database with recyclebin on would perform different task when compared to the database with recyeclebin off.
They all would fire set of recursive SQL which would insert/update/delete the data dicitionary objects.
Since drop table command would internally fire these dmls, hence would get logged into the redo log too.

but
select * from table (SplitFunction(select LOT_NO from TRACER_SEARCH_SCHEDULE where JOB_ID = '36')) <<< do not work.

FETCHING VALUES IN MULTI RECORD BLOCK FROM ANOTHER TABLE USING SELECT STATEMENT.

Hi,
I have one multi record block in which i want to fetch values
(more then one record) from another table using select statement
IN KEY NEXT ITEM.I am getting following error.
ORA-01422: exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows
Thanks in advance.

In your case I see no reason to use non-database block and to try to populate it from a trigger with a query, instead of using the default forms functionality where you can associate the block and the fields with table, create where clause using bind variables and simply use execute_query() build-in to populate the block. The power of the forms is to use their build-in functionality to interact with the database.
Also, you can base your block on a query, not on a table and you dynamically change this query using set_block_property() build-in. You can use any dynamic queries (based on different data sources) and you simply need to control the column's data type, the number of the columns and their aliases. Something like creating inline views as a block data source.
However, you can replace the explicit cursor with implicit one like
go_block('non_db_block_name');
first_record();
FOR v_tab IN (SELECT *
FROM tab
WHERE col_name = :variable)
LOOP
:non_db_block_name.field1 := v_tab.col1;
:non_db_block_name.field2 := v_tab.col2;
next_record();
END LOOP;

Using 'replace' in Oracle

Hi All,
I am trying to use replace to replace a string with some tags as shown below:
replace('ADAFETG3B-D0LA,ADAFETG3B-D0WA ', ',' , '</PartName><PartName>')
but in the output it replaces the < with '&ltsemicolon' and > with '&gtsemicolon'
Is there any other way to include < and > within strings and have them get displayed as is??
Thanks for your help in advance.

Actually I am simply generating valid XML, so that no conversion of special characters like < or > take place. The output of the statement is as follows:

Query abourt 'REPLACE' statement in SAP 4.7

hello,
      I have developed one program in SAP 4.7 version.Now i have copied it to 4.6C in SAP.When i tried to run this program it gives me error in
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF ':' IN l_col_time WITH ' '.
this statement.this statement is working in 4.7 but not in 4.6C.What should i do to eliminate this replace statement?should i use any function module that replaces off occurrences of particular character with specified character.

hi,
try this
DO.
REPLACE ':' IN l_col_time WITH ' '.
IF SY-INDEX <> 0.
    EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
or
   CLEAR lv_length.
   lv_length = STRLEN( lv_format_sdata ).
   DO lv_length TIMES.
     REPLACE ',""' WITH ',' INTO lv_format_sdata.
     IF sy-subrc <> 0.

Explain me the following replace statement

Hi guys,
Please explain me the following replace statement with an example :
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '''' IN materialgroup_desc WITH ''''''.
Please explain me the purpose of the above statement by showing the input and output.
Regards,
Vishu.

Hi Rob,
It's working fine .Thank you.But I just want to know the purpose of it as the functionality in one of the programs I have seen is as below :
Requirement :
Need to get all the material groups and description2 based on the material descriptions we enter in the selection-screen .
The program is coded in such a way that all the single quotes are replaced with double quotes :
The following 3 statements are written in the code :
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '''' IN materialgroup_desc WITH ''''''.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '*' IN materialgroup_desc WITH '%'.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '''' IN materialgroup_desc WITH ''''''.
and finally the result string is concatenated between quotes again to query the data.
For instance if we give MAT'ER*IAL as the input it is converted to 'MAT''''ER%IAL'
and by querying with a select statement using
materialgroup_desc LIKE 'MAT''''ER%IAL' we are getting the required data.
Hope you understand mny question.Please explain me why we are replacing the single quotes with double quotes 2 times.Is it a way to skip the special characters.
Regards,
Vishu shetty.

Bulk Replacements using Replace function in oracle 8i

Hi All,
Iam using oracle 8i version and i need to use Replace function for bulf replacements i mean i need to replace around 250 rows. So please anyone suggest me how to proceed
on this request as iam using oracle 8i version.
Thanks!
Srini

Write one update statement.
The where condition is the filter what rows need to be touched.
The SET condition will do the data change. For example it could use the REPLACE function if that is what it is needed.
One single update statement over 20 rows would mean the task is done in BULK. 20 single updates that each handle one row would mean it is row by row = slow by slow processing.
