X = '627128891'.

Y = X+0(4).

DATA : X(10) TYPE C VALUE '627128891',

Y(4).

Y = X+0(4).

WRITE : / Y.

You can also do the following in this way..

Data: x(9) type c value '627128891',

y(4) type c.

x = y.

so when you do this assignment then automatically only the first four value will onlu come bz it is of lenght 4.

I hope that it solves your query.

DATA:

a(10) value '12345678',

b(4).

b = a(4).

hi,

data x(10) type c value '1234567'.

data y(4) type c.

y = x0(4). " xn(m) n is the starting position and m no of character from n.

output y = 1234.. first four characters

y = x+2(2).

output y = 34 ..

rewards if understood..

Hi Shiva,

Try Y= X(4).

X = '627128891'

to get first 4 chars

X(4) this gives first 4 characters

concatenate X(4) Y into Y.

data X(10).

data y(10) value '6271'.

X = '627128891'.

concatenate X(4) Y into Y.

write : / Y.
