String conversion

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I need to modify strings in the internal table.

For ex: The string in the internal table is ............'Report...' My output should be 'Report...'

I tried to remove preceding dots using Replace keyword but it replaces all dots that appears in string.

My requirement is only to delete preceding dots.

Please help me?

Hi,

Use below key word:

shift <string variable> left deleting leading '.'.
