How to find the position of the deicmal place?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a String '-234.45'. I need to determine it decimal place.

I have try:

SEARCH '-234.45' FOR '.'.

but the sy-fdpos is 0.

How to get the decimal place? Is there other way to get it?

Please advise.

hi,

you can try split function.

split var1 at '.' into var1, var2.

this means if it gets split decimal is present.

therefore,

if sy-subrc = 0.

strlen( var1 ) + 1. will give you place of decimal point.

Hi,

see , if this will help you out.

DATA: text TYPE string VALUE `Roll over Beethoven`,

pos TYPE i.

SEARCH text FOR '. .'.

SEARCH text FOR ` `.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

pos = sy-fdpos + 2.

SEARCH text FOR 'bth' STARTING AT pos

ABBREVIATED AND MARK.

ENDIF.

Hetal.
