Comparing strings:
                Operator
Description
                   CO
Contains only
                   CN
Contains not only
                   CA
Contains any
                   NA
Contains not only
                   CS
Contains String
                    NS
Contains no String
                    CP
Matches pattern
                    NP
Does not Matches pattern

CO(Contains only):
IF <str1> CO <str2>.
Is TRUE if string1 contains only the characters from string2 the comparison is case sensitive including spaces
If the comparison  is true then the system field SY-FDPOS contains the length of string1
If it is false then SY-FDPOS contains the offset of the first character of string1 that does not occur in string2
 
Examples:
 
•         'AABB' co 'AB' True
•         'ABCD' co 'ABC' False
•         'AABB' cn 'AB' False
•         'ABCD' cn 'ABC' True
•         'AXCZ' ca 'AB' True
•         'ABCD' ca 'XYZ' False
•         'AXCZ' na 'ABC' False
•         'ABCD' na 'XYZ' True
