Refer to the following Code. What is the value of sy-fdpos and sy-subrc after the search is executed? Data: mystring type c value 'ARAMCO'. Search mystring for 'X'

  1. sy-fdpos = 0 and sy-subrc = 0

  2. sy-fdpos = 0 and sy-subrc = 4

  3. sy-fdpos = 4 and sy-subrc = 0

  4. sy-fdpos = 4 and sy-subrc = 4
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

When the SEARCH statement doesn't find the substring, sy-subrc is set to 4 (not 0), and sy-fdpos remains at its initial value of 0. Since 'X' is not found in 'ARAMCO', the search fails, returning sy-subrc=4.

AI explanation

To answer this question, we need to understand the behavior of the SEARCH statement in ABAP.

The SEARCH statement is used to search for a specified substring within a given string. It returns the position of the substring within the string in the field sy-fdpos. If the substring is not found, it sets the field sy-subrc to 4.

In this case, the given string is 'ARAMCO' and we are searching for the substring 'X'.

Since the substring 'X' is not present in the string 'ARAMCO', the SEARCH statement will not find a match. Therefore, the value of sy-fdpos will be 0, indicating that the substring was not found.

Additionally, since the substring was not found, the sy-subrc field will be set to 4, indicating that the search was unsuccessful.

Based on this information, the correct answer is B) sy-fdpos = 0 and sy-subrc = 4.
