search dot('.') in string, why the sy-fdpos is zero?

[Former Member]

Hi,

str = '136.59900'

search str for '.'

IF sy-subrc = 0.

pos = sy-fdpos.

ENDIF.

but pos is zero.

when i use 'CA' instead of search, result is str including dot. why? anybody give me an explanation?

if str ca '.'.

write:/ 'Including dot'.

else.

write:/ 'Not including dot'.

endif.

Hi daniel,

1. Dot is a special pattern character.

2. hence, give THREE DOTS.

3. like this.

search str for '...'.

4. Then it will search for One Dot

5. SY-FDPOS = 3.

Hi.

Try this.

str = '136.59900'.

find '.' in str match offset off.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

pos = off.

ENDIF.
