you are accessing specific positions of that field.

FISCPER+4(3) eq '000'

means, that field FISCPER, 4th,5th,6th position values together becomes 000 or not.

lets say your value for that field is '123456789'

in this case 4-6 positions of that field is '456',which is not equal to '000'

but take another example where the value is '123000789'

in this case 4-6 positions are '000'.

it will enter inside of that LOOP pass.

in ABAP terms,we call this as OFFSET.

It is an offset.. ie the value of the 3 char starting from the 4th char in the variable fiscper.. ie the value in the charracters 567 = '000'.

fiscper+4(3) eq 000 means if values 4th , 5th , 6th fields of FISCPER is equal to 000

then that corresponding is deleted from DATA_PACKAGE .

Hi,

loop at DATA_PACKAGE where FISCPER+4(3) eq '000'.

delete DATA_PACKAGE.

Here DATA_PACKAGE is an internal table and it has a field called FISCPER. I guess it is Fiscal Period.

FISCPER+4(3) means 3 characters of FISCPER starting from the 4th character.

for eg.

FISCPER has value 10122006.

So FISCPER+4(3) means starting from 4th character i.e. 101<b>2</b>

(3) means take 3 characters staring from the 4th character.. so 101<b>220</b>06

Now the loop indicates that consider only those records where FISCPER(3 characters starting from the 4th character ) has value 000. If its not 000, then that record wont be deleted and if it is 000, then that record would be deleted.

Best regards,

Prashant

The fourth offset "+4" is the fifth character in the string.

If l_date = 2006012, then l_date+4(3) would equal 012.

That means it will take the offset value starting at 4 and ending at 6. If those 3 letters are equal to 000, then it will delete that particular record.

I hope You got me.

Just want to clarify that 'fiscper+4(3)' will print the 5th,6th & 7th caharcters & not 4,5 & 6 as stated in a couple of replies..

data :w_str(8) value '20060829'.
write: / w_str+4(3).
