Hi,

can you tell me how to solve this.

i have a variable

a=80010010002009

I want to seperate '8001001000' into 1 variable and '2009' into another varibale.

Kind Regards,

Perhaps you could describe the requirements for the split, e.g., number of characters, etc. There are (probably) a lot of postings and other materials about string operations (if that's really a string and not a char field). Suggest you search the forums.

If the offset lengths are fixed, then it is a question of using offsets. Or is there some catch in your requirement which you have not mentioned ?

Use this

a=80010010002009.

b = a(10). it will place 8001001000 in b

c = a+10(4). it will place 2009 in c
