Generally when we try to access a string greater than its length it gives dump.
Example 1:
REPORT y_offset_process. DATA: w_char TYPE c, w_string TYPE string. w_string = sy-abcde. w_char = w_string+26(1).
When you execute this program you get a dump.This is due to w_string is length of 26 and you are trying to access 27th position.
To avoid Short Dump “Illegal access to a string (offset too large)”,
REPORT y_offset_process. DATA: w_char TYPE c, w_string TYPE string. w_string = sy-abcde. w_char = w_string+26( * ) . " please delete spaces in ( ).
Example 2:
REPORT y_offset_process. PARAMETER: p_desc TYPE char100. " where p_desc is company code + description DATA: w_lenght TYPE i, w_bukrs TYPE bukrs, " company code w_description TYPE string. " company code description w_bukrs = p_desc+0(4). w_lenght = STRLEN( p_desc ). w_lenght = w_lenght - 4. w_description = p_desc+4(w_lenght). WRITE: w_description.
You can reduce the code to
REPORT y_offset_process.
PARAMETER:
p_desc TYPE char100. " where p_desc is company code + description
DATA:
w_bukrs TYPE bukrs, " company code
w_description TYPE string. " company code description
\\
w_bukrs = p_desc+0(4).
w_description = p_desc+4( * ). " please delete spaces in ( ) before and after *.
WRITE:
w_description.
