Hi,

use SPLIT statement to split the address into 2 variable or an internal table splitting at '@'.

And then use offset to find the 2 characters.

is that the only way ?

Hi,

You can also use CP to find the postion of '@" in an email address.

The position will be in SY-FDPOS field if the CP is successful and then make use of offset to find the next 2 characters.

yes, you can search for @ and use the position to get the next two chars or you can use regular expressions.

Hi,

You could use the SEARCH command, which will put the position of the @ into field sy-fdpos. Then you can use this value as the offset to get the next two characters.

But I prefer the suggestion to use SPLIT.

HI,

Check the following code.

split v_email at '@' int0 var1 var2.
var3 = var2+0(2).

.

Suppose v_email contains an email address. Then var1 will contain the first part (brfore @) and var2 will hold the second part (after @).

Var3 will have first two characters.

Hope this helps.
