String conversion to Char

[Former Member]

I have the particular requirement that I want to convert a String type to a char type. Are there any standard functions in ABAP for that?

Any help on the topic will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Pratibha,

As String has no fixed length, your best bet is

CHAR_VAR = STRING_VAR+0(n).

n being the length of the CHAR Variable you have declared. There is a potential of data loss here.
