Something like below code may help ::

data : l_str(15) type c.

data : l_len type i.

data : l_revstr(15).

l_len = strlen( l_str ).

do.

l_len = l_len - 1.

concatenate l_revstr l_str+l_len(1) into l_revstr.

if l_len = 0.

exit.

endif.

enddo.

write : / l_str,

/ l_REvstr.

Use your brain and some string operations.

First cut the number from your string then reverse it, then concatenate the number again.

Thanks for your reply if number comes in last or first i will do what you say but the numeric value appears two or three times

in the text at that time what i do.

Hi,

I am not sure if it should be necessary to handle the reverse direction in this way. If you use a form with language key Arabic and a device type like ARSWIN or SWINCF, then it should work ok. You may also have to implement the SAP notes below:

1403736 - New bidirectional display function for SAPscript
