Hi,

Take the first three letters of the string and compare the same with abc using string operation CO . this will solve your problem

if it is in IF condition checking (or any other condition checking)

If itab-str cp 'ABC*'.

endif.

but if it is in select query where clause

then

select * from dbtab into corresponding fields of table itab where str like 'ABC%'.
