Space Truncating when passing from string to character

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

When i pass data from string variable to character varaible, space available in the string is missing.

lv_string contains 'Hello '. when i pass this to lv_char, iam getting 'Hello'.

is there any way by which we can pass the space as well?

Hi,

check this..

REPORT  ZTEST_sring message-id zz.

data: lv_char(10).
data: str type string.

str = 'Hello   '.

lv_char+0(10) = str.

write lv_char.

Hi,

Blank characters at the end of strings are not taken into account so you get space traucated when you pass string to character field.

Hi Vijay,

In the code which you mention is giving length of the lv_char as 5.

it is not considering spaces...

below is the code.

***********************

data: lv_char(10).

data: str type string.

str = 'Hello '.

lv_char+0(10) = str.

lv_len = strlen( lv_char ).

write:/ 'Character Length',lv_len.

Is there any other way by which we can do this?

Hi Lijo,

if u consider the length of the string 'Hello ', even that will be returned as 5. so the char variable picks up the 5 characters..

but if u consider ' Hello'. this returns 6 characters n hence will be passed to the char variable as such with the leading space.
