STRINGS

Hi guys,

I have a requirement wherein i need to capture the first 4 characters of a field into another variable.

For eg i have a field ' ABC' whose data contents are 200704 , 200606 , 200507...etc

I need the values 2007 , 2006 , 2005 from tha above field in the work area of another internal table.

How do i go about this??

Thanks and regards,

Frank.
