Finding String Length and Avoiding Last Character in the string by using offset is the only easy way.

If you know the exact length of the variable value, then you can do offset directly.

shift <string> right deleting trailing space.

shift <string> right

hi,

SHIFT <string> RIGHT BY 1.

then it will remove last character.

try this:

w_len = STRLEN( w_rcd ).

w_len = w_len - 1.

w_rcd = w_rcd+0(w_len).

lv_str = reverse( lv_str ).

lv_str = lv_str+1.

lv_str = reverse( lv_str ).

DATA(last_index) = strlen( input ) - 1.

input = input+index(length).

##new input is without last character.
