Declare the variable of the type NUMC though you can add one even if it is of type CHAR

Hi ,

You can Achieve this Using The Below Code.

 
Data: w_cnt   type i ,
          w_num type i.

 * Find the String length of the Character variable
w_cnt = strlen( w_name )  -  1.
w_num = w_name+w_cnt(1)  +  1.        " Increment the last Numeric Value in variable
w_name+w_cnt(1) = w_num.             " Modify the Incremented value in Variable

With Regards

Hi,

I think the last solution should do the trick!

But i would like to advice to use a larger number: not only the last digit, but the entire string after the D11K:

w_cnt = strlen( w_name ) - 6.

w_num = w_name+w_cnt(6) + 1. " Increment the Numeric Value in variable

w_name+w_cnt(6) = w_num. " Modify the Incremented value in Variable

Good luck!
