SPLITTING ISSUE

Hi

THIS IS MY FOOTER RECORD

1#XXXXX#YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY#1#RERE

constants: con_tab type x value '09'.

loop at footer_file.

split footer_file at con_tab

into idat-fld1

idat-fld2

idat-fld3

idat-fld4.

append idat.

endloop.

I AM GETTING THE VALUE OF 1# INTO IDAT-FLD3.

I DECLARED IDAT-FLD3(2) TYPE C.

BUT SINCE IAM SPLITTING AT con_tab WHICH I THINK IS # IT SHOULD GET ONLY 1 AND IT SHOULD BE INDEPENDENT OF LENGTH RIGHT

lET ME KNOW
