Hi

Check this

:

DATA string7(30) TYPE c VALUE 'This is a little sentence.'.

WRITE: / 'Searched', 'SY-SUBRC', 'SY-FDPOS'.

ULINE /1(26).

SEARCH string7 FOR ' '.

WRITE: / ' ', sy-subrc UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',

sy-fdpos UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'.

Hope it helps.

data: v_len type i.

IF str CA ' ' .

v_len = sy-fdpos.

ENDIF.

For your example, the above query returns v_len (sy-fdpos) as 4 and the 5th position is space.

Try this code:

DATA: A(50) TYPE C VALUE 'AMIT GUPTA',

B TYPE C,

N(2) TYPE N.

N = STRLEN( A ).

DO N TIMES VARYING B FROM A0(1) NEXT A1(1) RANGE A.

IF B IS INITIAL.

" DO ANYTHING

ENDIF.

ENDDO.

Actually, the correct syntax to find SPACE is:

SEARCH stringname FOR '. .'.

The strange thing is that the FIND command is not able to find SPACE. At least I tried it in every way I could think of but it didn't work. So I had to use the (otherwise obsolete) SEARCH command with the above syntax.
