Hi Johny,

you can something like:

length = strlen( field ).

length = length - 1.

field = field+1(length).

With luck,

Pritam.

Hi,

Shifting a String by a Given Number of Positions

SHIFT <c> [BY <n> PLACES] [<mode>].

This statement shifts the field <c> by <n> positions. If you omit BY <n> PLACES, <n> is interpreted as one. If <n> is 0 or negative, <c> remains unchanged. If <n> exceeds the length of <c>, <c> is filled out with blanks. <n> can be variable.

Data:field1(7) type c value 'A123456'.

Shift field1 by 1 places left.

Mode can be left,right and circular.
