Question

this is my issue

define varibale MyArray as character extent 40 no-undo.
define variable Mychara as character           no-undo.

Mychara = "hai this is checking how to copy values"

Now i want to copy this string to my “MyArray”. So that it should be as follows

MyArray[1]=h ,MyArray[2]=a ,MyArray[3]=i ,MyArray[4]=”” ,MyArray[5]=t ,MyArray[6]=h
and so on…

So how to do it?

Answer 1

Given your code-example, this should do the trick:

define variable MyArr as character EXTENT 40 no-undo.
define variable Mychara as character           no-undo.

Mychara = "hai this is checking how to copy values".

DEF VAR i AS INT NO-UNDO.

DO i = 1 TO 40:
    MyArr[i] = SUBSTRING(MyChara,i,1).
END.

A caveat though: this means that you have to know the (maximum) size of your String beforehand, to define the array size appropriately.
