hi folks,

I am reading a field value from a table into a variable that goes like '345-7890123<b>-</b>' there is this '-' after the number and need to remove it.

How can I use 'trim' here?

Thanks

Vinu

report zrich_0002
       no standard page heading.


data: s(30) type c value '132165451-'.


shift s right deleting trailing space.
shift s right deleting trailing '-'.
shift s left deleting leading space.


write:/ s.

You could also do something like this.



report zrich_0002
       no standard page heading.


data: s(30) type c value '545132162-'.
data: x(30) type c.
data: offset type i.


offset = ( strlen( s ) - 1 ) .

x = s+0(offset).

write:/ s.
write:/ x.

DATA: dir(40) VALUE '345-7890123-1'.

DO.

REPLACE '-' WITH space INTO dir.

IF sy-subrc <> 0. EXIT. ENDIF.

ENDDO.

CONDENSE dir no-gaps.

WRITE dir.

TRANSLATE variable USING '- '.

CONDENSE variable NO-GAPS.

Do you want to remove all the '-' or just the last one? If it is just the last one, then

v_len = STRLEN( variable ).

v_len = v_len -1.

variable = variable(v_len).
