Syntax

... ( ... case = case ...  ) ...

Effect

Searches and comparisons in string functions are case-sensitive by default, but this can be overridden if necessary using the parameter case. The argument case requires a constant or a literal of the type ABAP_BOOL from the type group ABAP with the value of the constants ABAP_TRUE or ABAP_FALSE. If case contains the value of ABAP_TRUE, the search is case-sensitive; if it contains the value of ABAP_FALSE, the search is not case-sensitive.

Example

The result of the following function calls is 2 and 3.

DATA(result1) = find( val = `aAbBcC` sub  = `B` case = abap_false ). 
DATA(result2) = find( val = `aAbBcC` sub  = `B` case = abap_true  ).
