Hi,

Copy the number to char and use offset to capture first two character or define a 2 char variable pass the int and then pass the variable back to int field.

You can move the variable to another char variable and use offset

MOVE lv_char+0(2) TO lv_first_two.

hi subhasis

use a "+" operator like this

a1 = HSDAT+0(2).

Hi,

We can achieve that using the following methods:

DATA : loc_1 type string,

loc_2(2) type c.

loc_1 = '123423428340923990'.

loc_2 = loc_1+0(2).

Here you will get only the first two digits.

You can use move statement also.

MOVE LOC_1(2) TO loc_2.

If you are having mixed string with characters and digits mixed together i.e. like this 'test01test03sample01'.

You can so that using this method.

data : lv_length type I.

loc_1 = 'test01test03sample0'.

LV_LENGTH = STRLEN( loc_1 ).

DO LV_LENGTH TIMES.

*&-- Read from first string validing the numeric fields and move your first two digits to the required variable --&*

ENDDO.

Hope it will be useful.
