Hi,

How to get the last character of character value? for example: '1226262M', I wanna get the suffix 'M'. Length of the character can be varying.

Many thanks.

Alia

Hi,

try that:

data: len type i,

result(1).

parameters word(20).

len = strlen( word ) - 1.

result = word+len(1).

write result.

best regards

Hy Alia

you can use the command strlen to get the length of the string.

len = strlen(your_string).

and then use SHIFT.

I put some example code.

data len type i.

data my_string type string value '1226262M'.

len = strlen( my_string ).

len = len - 1.

shift my_string by len.

that's all. In my_string variable you'll have 'M'.

Hi,

there are many string manipulation functions so take a look of them first, u will get many ways to do this.

You can measure the length of the string through strlen() function and then shift your string length - 1 place and you will get the desired value.

you can use this:

data: a type string value '1226262M'.

data: b type i.

b = strlen( a ) - 1.

shift a by b places.

write /: a.
