hi,

I think there are more ways to go:

REPLACE 'ABAP WITH '' IN string.

CONDENSE string NO-GAPS.

Now string contains only the middle word.

SPLIT string AT 'ABAP' INTO itab.

Now itab has only one line with the middle word.

hope this helps

Hi ,

Do you want SAP as a word or as diff characters .

Either you can use patterns CP

or you use CA 'SAP' .

Please elaborate about the requirements .

Hi ,

According to u first 4 digits and last 4 didgits are fixed.

1. find out the length of the string and make the first 4 digits and last 4 digits as blanks by using off set...and replace...

for example if u get string length as 10 .

replace string+0(4) by space.

replace string+6(4) by space.

condense string ...

u will get middle value of the string.

Thanks,
