Suppose length of your variable is N .Then create another variable V2 and follow the below statement.

V2 = V1+0(N-1).

It'll work.

If its a numeric variable without decimals, you can just divide it by 10.

use following code

data:
  var(3) type c value 'def',
  ofset(3) type c,
  sub type i,
  var1 type i.

  var1 = strlen( var ).
  sub = var1 - 1.
  ofset = var+0(sub).
  write var1.
  write ofset.

Hi Sagar,

Try this way :

Data:
  VAR type i value 10.

VAR = VAR Div 10.

Write :/ VAR.

Hi,

All the above mentioned codes will require data type conversion. However heres a direct approach.

1. divide by 10

2. Use the arithmatic function trunc to get the integer value.

Hope this helps,

Kind Regards,

Rajat

Just shift the variable 1 place right to achieve this.
