IF there is a blank space in a character string and if I want to Truncate the field when it finds a blank space how should I approch this.

Ex: field = 'SARATOGA S'

and if I have to concider only 'SARATOGA' and leave out the ' S' .

can you please suggest me some sample code.

Regards,

Hi VJ,

Use <b>SPLIT</b> statement for your requirement.

DATA:

FIELD TYPE STRING VALUE 'SARATOGA S',

V_FIRST TYPE STRING.

SPLIT FIELD AT SPACE INTO V_FIRST.

WRITE:/ V_FIRST.
