if its a type c vaariable den use:

suppose var2 is ur variable

var2 = var1+0(4).

if its not a type c variable den move it to a type c var

zvar(10) type c.

move var1 to zvar.

zvar = zvar+0(4).

plz reward points if dis helps

data var2(4) TYPE c.

Var2 = var1+0(4).

Where 0 is the offset and 4 is the length.

Var2 = var1+0(4).

Can we set Var2 = var1+0(n).

n is any number or can we set it into dynamic number?

Can't you read the ABAP documentation, or just try yourself?

data:var(10) type c value 'welcome'.

data:var1(4).

var1 = var.

write:/ var1.
