Find first space in text field

4274 Views

This must be easy, but I can't figure it out. I am trying to find the first space in a string field, and concatenate the string there. For example, if I have the string "AAAAA BBBBB", I want to capture only "AAAAA". I am trying to do a string search to find the first space in the field, but this does not seem to work. If I search for an actual character value, for example, using "" above, this works. This is an example of what I have tried:

FIND ' ' in 'AAAAA *BBBBB'.

This returns a value of 0 in sy-fdpos.

If I use this:

FIND '*' in 'AAAAA *BBBBB'.

it returns a value in sy-fdpos.
