you have to use offset:

lv_... = lgpla(2).

Use offset:

DATA: w_var(2).

w_var = mlgt-lgpla(2).

Hello Ricardo,

See if this helps:

v_2char = v_lgpla+0(2).

v_lgpla being you variable containing the value of mlgt-lgpla.

The +0 applies to the position in the field. So at position zero;

the (2) applies to how many spaces to grab.

So we now have v_2char containing the 2 spaces after position 0 of v_lgpla.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

REPORT  zj_test.
DATA: string(6) TYPE c VALUE 'ABCDEF',
lv_string TYPE string.
DATA:lv_len TYPE i, count TYPE i VALUE '2'.

lv_len = STRLEN( string ).
lv_len = lv_len - count.

DO lv_len TIMES.

  string+count(1) = space.
  count = count + sy-tabix.

ENDDO.
