How to find length of a character variable in sap script

Hi,
I have stored a line of text in one variable. If the text exceeds more than 50 characters, the remaining characters will be printed in next line.
For this i have given code as :
<I>&S_BOL_SUMMARY-TXT(50)&</>
<I>&S_BOL_SUMMARY-TXT+50&</>
The problem is i have to print the second line only when the text exceeds more than 50 characters. So how can i give the condition for that?
Ezhil

Hi,
Try the following,
data: len type i.
len = strlen (S_BOL_SUMMARY-TXT ).
if len > 50.
&S_BOL_SUMMARY-TXT(50)&
&S_BOL_SUMMARY-TXT+50&
else.
&S_BOL_SUMMARY-TXT(50)&
endif.

Character Strings in Sap Script

Hi,
how to create character strings in Sap Script?
thanks,
fractal

Hi,
Defining Character Formats Character formats in forms determine how text is formatted within paragraphs. They are a refined form of text layout.
1. Choose Goto  Character strings. This takes you to the request screen for standard attributes of character strings. 2. Choose Edit  Create element. A dialog box appears. 3. Enter a character tag and description. The character tag is created. The system sets all standard attributes to * . You can overwrite this setting. 4. Choose Attributes  Font to define the font attributes for the character format. Font attributes provide a more detailed definition. 5. Enter values in the input-enabled fields. The fields Bold, Italics, and Underlined are automatically displayed with * . You can overwrite this with your entry. 6. Repeat the definition of character tags and their standard and font attributes until all required character formats have been defined. 7. Save the character formats

How to find an extended ASCII character

Hi,
I have a problem while reading from a InputStream with a BufferedReader. I�m trying to find out if an extended ASCII character is within a String made with readline(), but it always says no. Example:
myString.indexOf('\u00D2')
While debugging, I see that the character is a '?'.
How can I find this extended ASCII character ('\u00D2') ? Is it an encoding matter?
Please help!!

You are using a default character encoding when you use BufferedReader, so the text you read is probably translated to some other character in some cases (two or more bytes can sometime make up a new unicode character depending on the encoding).
You could try this:
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in, "IS0-8859-1"));where in is your InputStream.

How to find out workflow in various releases of SAP

Hi Experts,
I would like to know as to how we can find out in which release of SAP was a given workflow introduced.
For eg. if we take WS04200009(WF for leave request). I want to know if this was incorporated in ECC 6.0 or ECC 5.0 or older versions.
Also if we take WS04200009, there is a list of related WF's to it.....i.e. WS12400005 and WS12400007(These are for leave request cancellation).
I would like to know similarly as to how to find out for a specific workflow, the list of related WF to it.
I would also like to know as to how we can find out what is the latest WF that SAP has incorporated in the given release.
Thanks in advance for all the help.

Hello,
What do you mean by workflows "related" to another workflow? if you mean calls and called-by you can get it out of the underlying tables, is that what you want? Same for the latest version, but only in the current system, I wouldn't know how to do it for different SAP versions.
For a particular workflow you can see which other workflow(s) (and tasks) it calls in tx SWDM.

Can anyone please help me find tables behind a custom query in SAP.
Regards
As

Hi
Check the name of the programm assigned to transaction, it should be like this:
AQZZ<user group>=======<query name>======
or
AQIC<user group>=======<query name>======
It depends of the query area is global or cross-client
So run SQ01, select the quey area, select the quey group and so your query: now you can see the infoset and then you see it by SQ02 transaction

Find total no of pages in a sap script

Hi,
How do i find the no of pages that is generated in SAP script, with out generating a spool.
thanks.

Dear friend
new system symbols (note upper case) were therefore introduced:
&SAPSCRIPT-FORMPAGES&
Total page number based on the current output layout set:
&SAPSCRIPT-JOBPAGES&
Total page number based on all output layout sets created with the function modules OPEN_FORM, START_FORM .. ENDFORM, START_FORM .. END_FORM, ..., CLOSE_FORM
Examples:
Page &PAGE& of &SAPSCRIPT-FORMPAGES(C)&
Specifies the current page number and total page number. The additional specification (C) outputs the symbol in a compressed form, that is the leading blanks are omitted in the 4-character output (default).
Number of all output pages: &SAPSCRIPT-JOBPAGES(C)&
Outputs the total number of output pages. Caution: When using this symbol, all output pages must be held in the main storage so that the total page number can be inserted at the end of the output. Larger outputs can affect performance.
