Hey Donna,

Split the string using the charachter' _ ' and then u will get it into another variable.

data : DELIMITER(2) VALUE '_'.

text1 = 'CA_Product'.

SPLIT text1 AT DELIMITER INTO text2 text3.

DATA: t3(14) TYPE c VALUE 'CA_product',
      string3 LIKE t3,
      str3(1) TYPE c VALUE '_',
     int TYPE i.
string3 = t3.
WRITE string3.

SHIFT string3 RIGHT DELETING TRAILING str3.
WRITE / string3.
SHIFT string3 LEFT DELETING LEADING space.
SKIP.
ULINE.
int = strlen( sting3 ).

Then now u can read string3 using OFFSET+0(int).
