Definition

You can search for arbitrary bytes or byte sequences by using this option. The input is interpreted as byte(s) or as byte pattern. Bytes must be entered in hexadecimal notation.

Note: The search and the replacement of bytes in systems using an MDMP or blended code page configuration is dangerous because bytes are ambiguous in these systems, i.e. they represent different characters depending on the logon language.

Internally the search is mapped to the ABAP statement <text> in <sel_opt>, where <text> is the hexadecimal representation of the content of a character like field and <sel_opt> are the selection options given by the user. All bytes are found in <text> up to the maximum length of 65535 bytes.

    Input is 61* : Find all table fields which start with byte 0x61.

  • Search for bytes
