How to search for HEX 00 in unicode systems?

[Former Member]

I am aware that cl_abap_char_utilities provides many non-printable characters (such as horizontal_tab). However, I am looking for a way to represent HEX 00 in a char variable so I can search for it in text strings.

If I uncheck the "unicode check" checkbox, I can easily assign HEX 00 to a char variable. However, I don't like to disable unicode check.

An explanation of how SAP has implemented cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab will also help. Looking at the class builder, it is defined as %_HORIZONTAL_TAB in "Initial value" column. What does that mean?

Thank you very much for your time.

Hi,

Hex 00 is cl_abap_char_utilities=>minchar. See also

Hi,

I have a similar problem, except that I need to search for HEX 1A (END-OF-FILE-Character). Since there is no %_END_OF_FILE or %_EOF definition like %_NEWLINE, I cannot inherit CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES to create such a constant. How can I define this without using any x fields?

Thanks,

Rainer
