sap programming is done with a language called ABAP and it has some important keywords and search is one among them.Its usage is given as shown below.
SEARCH f FOR g.
Additions
1. ... ABBREVIATED
2. ... STARTING AT n1
3. ... ENDING AT n2
4. ... AND MARK
Effect
Searches the field f for the string in the field g . This string can have any of the following formats:
'str' a character string (trailing blanks are ignored) '.str.' any character string between the periods '*str' a word ending with "str", including the word "str" 'str*' a word beginning with "str", including the word "str"
You can use the following characters as delimiters:
' ', ',', ';', ':', '.', '!', '?', '(', ')', '+', '/' and '='.
The return code value is set as follows:
SY-SUBRC = 0 The search string g was found in the field f .
SY-FDPOS contains the offset of the found string or the found word within the field.
SY_SUBRC = 4 The search string g was not found in the field f .
Addition 1
... ABBREVIATED
Effect
Searches the field f for a word containing the character string specified in the field. Here, the characters specified in g may be separated by other characters in a word. If the string g occurs in a word, the return code in system field SY-SUBRC is set to 0. The first letter of the search string g and the word must match.
Example
DATA F(50).
MOVE 'Alaska Texas California' TO F.
SEARCH F FOR 'Clfrn' ABBREVIATED.
Here, SY-SUBRC is set to 0, since not only does the string 'Clfrn' occur (separated by other characters) in 'California' , but 'Clfrn' and 'California' begin with the same letter.
Addition 2
... STARTING AT n1
Effect
Searches the field f starting from the position n1 . Here, a field can be anything containing the corresponding value. The first character in the field f is in position 1.
When you use the addition STARTING AT , the position specified for the found pattern in SY-FDPOS does not refer to the start of the field, but to the position n1 .
Addition 3
... ENDING AT n2
Effect
Searches the field f up to the position n2 .
Addition 4
... AND MARK
Effect
If the search string g is found, all the characters of the search string and all the characters occurring in between (in the case of SEARCH ABBREVIATED ) are converted to upper case in the field f .
Example
DATA F(20) VALUE 'Peter Paul Mary'.
SEARCH F FOR '*UL' AND MARK.
SY-SUBRC is now set to 0, since the search string was found in 'Paul' . SY-FDPOS has the value 6, since the character string found starts at the offset 6. Also, the search string is marked, so that the new contents of f are as follows:
'Peter PAUL Mary'
