Hi,

length = strlen( my_char ).

position = length - 4.

result = mychar+position.

Hi,

1.

int_var = strlen( tbl-fld ).

int_var1 = int_var - 4.

result_txt = tbl-fld+int_var1(int_var).

2.

use FM GUI_UPLOAD.

Hi,

try this:

DATA: STR TYPE STRING VALUE 'testfrom2007'.

DATA: CSTR(4).

DATA: STRL TYPE I.

*

STRL = STRLEN( STR ).

IF STRL > 4.

STRL = STRL - 4.

CSTR = STR+STRL(4).

ELSE.

CSTR = STR.

ENDIF.

*

WRITE: CSTR.

Hi Satish,

To find the last 4 digits, try this code.

DATA: len TYPE i,
      str(10) TYPE c VALUE 'abcdefghij',
      substr TYPE string.

len = STRLEN( str ) - 4.

substr = str+len(4).


WRITE: / substr.

And regarding the file uploading, if you want to upload file fro the GUI Server, you can use the function module

GUI_UPLOAD

.

And if you want to upload from Application server, you can use

OPEN DATASET, READ DATASET

...

Plz reward points if useful...

Hi Satish,

DATA: V_STRING TYPE STRING,
V_LASTFOUR TYPE STRING,
V_LENGTH TYPE N.

V_LENGTH = STRLEN (V_STRING) - 4.

V_LASTFOUR = V_STRING + V_LENGTH(4)

You can use the FM 'GUI_UPLOAD' if you have the file (.txt) from the presentation server.

Please award points if helpful.
