hi neha ,

TRY THIS :

parameter : p_char(30) type c.

data :      lw_string(30) type c.

lw_string = p_char.

shift lw_string right by 10 PLACES.            " Removes last 10 character

condense lw_string.                            " condensing the space after shifting it to right

WRITE lw_string.     

regards ,
