I would like to give another option using the define keyword

/: DEFINE &symbol1& = u2018**u2019

/: DEFINE &symbol2& = u2018+the 29 character which u want to be printed +&symbol1&u2019

The resultant &symbol2& will be the 29 character which u want to be printed **

Hi Gayathri,

Try to implement some thing like this:

Data:
  w_char1(35) type c,
  w_char2(31) type c,
  w_const(2) type c value '**'.

w_char2(29) = w_char1(29).
w_char2+29(2) = w_const.

Now display in the script like &w_char2&.

Hi,

Sorry I cant get your question..

Do u mean to say that you have a 35 character field and u r gonna write only 29 characters and rest 6 fields must be filled with star?

If you want it in the beginning then try it this way using Fill characters

&symbol(Ff)&

&tablename-fieldname& 700.00

&tablename-fieldname(F*)& **700.00

&tablename-fieldname(F0)& 00700.00

If you want it in the end then probably

&symbol(29)&**
