Offset.

If u want to take 6from matnr.

v_matnr = mara-matnr+0(6).

U can use <b>+0(15)</b>

DATA: string(30) TYPE STRING VALUE 'Test this_program'.

DATA: v_string(10) TYPE STRING.

v_string = string+0(10).

Write:/ v_string.

Output will be:

<b>Test this_</b>

Reward points if this helps.

use the offset option for display upto 15 characters .

<b>write:/ name+0(15).</b>

//READ TABLE out_tab60 INDEX 1.

out_tab60-value = PA0001-ENAME.

MODIFY out_tab60 INDEX 1.

okay in the script or sF o/p just give the offset as

<b>&out_tab60-value+0(15)&</b>

this will do .

chk this .

need not adjust anything in this code but just display it to 15 in the o/p as shown

READ TABLE out_tab60 INDEX 1.
out_tab60-value =

<b>PA0001-ENAME+0(15).</b>

MODIFY out_tab60 INDEX 1.

JUST DECLARE THE VAR

DATA : NAME(15).

NOW TAKE THE DATA IN NAME IT WILL TAKE ONLY FIRST 15 CHAR AND REST WILL BE TRUNCATED.

IN DISPALY IF YOU WANT TO SHOW.

WRITE : /(15) ITAB-NAME1.
