SAP PI - Mapping - Simple wya to ignor 1st char

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I was trying to find a simple way to solve a mapping issue we have here.

On a mapping of a field , we want to ignore the 1st character.

Exemple

we send:  Zabcdefgh.

Wwe want to have after mapping: abcdefgh.

Does anyone has a simple UDF that could handle this ?

Thx all for any help.

You can use Substring Node function. This is SAP standard function in message mapping.

Use same as depicted in the screenshot.

Thanks

Hi Gaurav,

thx for your help.

just to be sure, the character count = 0 will work here ?

I mean the "abcdefgh" needed will not be lost du toe this zero ?

Thx again.
