+2 is the offset and 4 is the length. But reading the header is seems you know this. so what exactly is your problem?

REPORT ZTEST_OFFSET.

data: text(10).

text = 'this is test'.

write 2(4) 'Test'. "this will start from second charcter position, and writes up to 4 chars length.

write:/ text+2(4) . "this will start from the position 1, and writes only 4 chars starting from position 2 in the string.

Hi,

By using text2(4), it will print the values starting from 2 position to 4 characters. EX: if you have string SAPSDN it will print PSDN using write : text2(4).

Thanks,
