Hi Gunjan,

U cant move :,space or any other special character into Int type variable so try to move 1200 into int4 type variable.

it will work.

data: a type int4,

ch(10) type c.

ch = '1200'.

a = ch.

it works.

data: abc type string ,

def type int4 .

abc = '12:00' .

shift abc right deleting trailing '0' .

shift abc right deleting trailing ':' .

condense abc no-gaps .

def = abc .

HI,

use type N instead of I.

data:char(5) value '12:00',num(5) type n.

num = char.

write:num.
