Problem with specifying the length for data type p

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

i have a variable v_var with type p...

I want to have this code:

write v_var(9) to i_tab-val.

but im getting a syntax error...

wat is the possible solution in order for me to get only the fisrt nine char of v_var to move to i_tab-val?

thanks a lot!

Always,

HI ,

instead declare a variable of type c for say 16 chars and assign the packed variable to it. then offset the temp char variable for 9 chars.

data: var1 type p,

temp(16) type c.

temp = var1.

temp = temp(9).

Hope this will help.
