Hi Amine,

could you try :

MOVE '0' to antec+lgn(1).

Fred

Hi Amine,

Why is it not working? Any error?

Which is the value of SOURCE_FIELDS_RULE-/BIC/ZBPN?

Anyway, if you already know the length of type /BIC/OIZBPN then you already know which is the last digit of the var.

Regards

Hi,

try this:

lgn = strlen(antec) - 1.

antec+lgn(1) = 0.

Hi Amine,

After the lgn = strlen(antec) - 1.

again you have to assign the value to antec.

antec = antec+0(lgn).

Then concatenate the values as i said in earlier.

Please go through the link.

Hi Krishna,

I tried it but it doesen't work.

Normally STRLEN has to be in blue, which means it's reconized as a SAP function.

Any other options to bypass this issue please?

Thanks.

Hi Amine, STRLEN( ANTEC ). make sure there should be a space at start and end of your variable between the brackets. Regards, Krishna.

Hi Amine,

strlen is a function, you need spaces between the brackets:

strlen( antec )
