hi,

data country(10) type c.

country = 'India'.

country+2(1) will give 'd'

ie variable+offset(length)

please look at the below explanation:

DATA: VAR TYPE CHAR20.

VAR = 'INDIA'.

WRITE:/ VAR(3) - THIS WILL PRINT FIRST THREE CHARACTERS OF THE INDIA SO THE OUTPUT WILL BE : IND

WRITE:/ VAR+3(1) = THIS WILL PRINT 1ST CHARACTER AFTER FIRST 3 CHARACTERS SO THE OUTPUT WILL BE : I

COPY REQUIRED CHARACTERS IN ANOTHER VARIABLE.

DATA: VAR2 TYPE CHAR10.

VAR2 = VAR+3(2) .

Hi,

Country = 'India'.

P1 &COUNTRY+2(1)&

Output will be d

Other ex:-

symbol= 123456789.

&symbol(3)& -> 123

&symbol(7)& -> 1234567

&symbol+4(3)& -> 567

u can use offset to get the output.

data str type string.

data str2 type c.

str = 'INDIA'.

str2 = str+2(1)

now str2 will contain D.
