Having problems performing field mappings

[Former Member]

Hi Experts...

I am trying map werks field to another field of the same type .

However we are suppose to map the last two characters of source work field.

The source incoming data for werk can have 2 ,3 or 4 characters.

I have tried various combinations of if ....if without else ...length ...text functions

but they are not working.

can somebody tell me how to go about it using standard functions available .

Regards,

Hi Deepak -

Much easier with a very simple User Defined function (UDF). Just create a simple UDF with one input parameter (call it 'a' which is default) and just put in the following and save:

<i>return a.substring(a.length() - 2, a.length());</i>

Hi Deepak,

If source file doesn't have fixed lenght , we may not use standard functions in this case.

you can do it with Creating Java or Abap simple New functions in mapping it self.
