hi,

str = mainstr+3.

or replace 'abc' in mainstr with ''.

You can use.

substr = string+2(5).

Hi Venkat,

if mainstr = 'abcdefgh'.

then mainstr+4(5) will give you the value 'defgh'.

Write----

str = mainstr+3(5).

str is substring.

Hi,

use the concept of offset

str = mainstr+2(5).

Hi,

You can use the offset position and length of the string function

mainstr+offset(length)

in your case... you can use

string1 = mainstr+3.

It starts from 3rd offset position till the end of the string

if you want to specify the length you can also do that...

starting from 3 position you want to retrieve 3 chars then specify the length also

mainstr+3(3)

hiii

you can get this value by using OFFSTE like

mainstr = 'abcdefgh'.

w_answer = mainstr+3(5).

or use like

mainstr CN 'abc'.

go through this

mainstr = 'abcdefgh'.

ex_srting = 'abc'

now get the length of ex_string. here it is 3

so length1 = 3.

lenght2 = 8

now use this

mainstr CS ex_string

If the result of the comparison is positive, the system field SY-FDPOS contains the offset of the first character of ex_string in mainstr.

offset = SY-FDPOS + length1.
req_len = length - offset
req_str  = mainstr+offset(req_len ).
