assigning value

[Former Member]

i am reading fiscal year/period (format - 010/2006) into Loc_var_range. after that i am reading var1(3) i.e. 010 . Now i have to subtract -1 from it i e. 009/2006

now i have to store that changes back into l_s_range.

i am trying this:

l_s_range-low(3) = (l_s_range-low(3))-1.

now what abt 2006? i have to assign that value also to l_s_range..how to do it?

Basically i have to assign 009/2006 into l_s_range. and loc_var_range is having value 010/2006.

lval = loc_var_range-low(3).

lval = lval - 1.

concatenate lval loc_var_range-low+4(4) into loc_var_range.

how to concatenate? and its gonna be 5(4) or 4(4) as 2 in 2006 is 5th character?

4(4) is correct.

The first character is read as 0(1).

I.E. from 0th Position read 1 character.

But for example check that if the month is coming as 001.

While subtracting -1 it will become 000. So you have to check when it is coming as 001 you have give it as 012.
