hi,

data : lv_string type string.

to get last 3 characters use the code

lv_string + 3.

data : a type string,b type i,c type string,d type i.

a = 'abcdefghi'.

b = strlen( a ). "9

d = b - 3. "6

c = a + d(3). "ghi

write 😕 c.

Hi,

var1 = STRLEN(var)

var2 = var1 - 3

var+var2(var1) would give you the lst three characters

SHIFT lf_string RIGHT CIRCULAR BY 3 PLACES.
WRITE lf_string(3).

Use FM 'STRING_REVERSE'. Reverse your string and select first 3 characters

but then the content is backwards, e.g. "ramuk hsekum"!

you'd have to put the result into STRING_REVERSE again to get the actual sequence.

data: c TYPE string VALUE 'this is string',

c1(3),

len TYPE i.

len = STRLEN( c ).

len = len - 3.

c1 = c+len(3).

WRITE / c1.

try this
