substring delete

[Former Member]

hi,

may i know how to delete a substring in a string and the remaining string can move to the left.

for example :

401011DELEC345,99REF

i need to delete "DELE" which is wa_tab+6(4) to become as below :

401011C345,99REF

thanks

You can use REPLACE to replace the desired part of string by space and then use CONDENSE command to remove the spaces.
