I have a Variable which stores two field values like Purchase Order No and Date now I want to display this Value correctly from that Variable
e.g VAR1 = PONO/Date
How to print PONO on one line and Date on the other line from the VARIABLE VAR1.

Answer 1

Hi Nandan,
There are different ways to do this.
Suppose your variable contains always a fixed length of two other values like PO number an Date.
DATA: v_pono         TYPE ebeln,
      v_date         TYPE sydatum,
      v_variable(18) TYPE C.
v_variable = '000001234520050201'.
You can then read the parts like this:
v_pono = v_variable+000(010).
v_date = v_variable+010(008).
Suppose your variable contains always a variable length of two other values like PO number an Date.
DATA: v_pono         TYPE ebeln,
      v_date         TYPE sydatum,
      v_variable(20) TYPE C,
      v_table        LIKE v_variable OCCURS 0.
v_variable = '12345/20050201'.
You can then read the parts like this:
SPLIT v_variable AT '/' INTO TABLE v_table.
READ TABLE v_table INTO v_pono INDEX 1.
READ TABLE v_table INTO v_date INDEX 2.
Or you can use it like this:
SPLIT v_variable AT '/' INTO v_pono v_date.
Hope this gives you some clues.
