• Key Concepts: 
  Substring is a function in SAP that allows users to extract a portion of a string of characters. It is used to extract a specific part of a string, such as the first three characters or the last five characters. It is part of the BC-CST Client/Server Technology component. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Substring can be used in SAP by entering the command “SUBSTRING” followed by the string of characters, the starting position, and the length of the substring. For example, if you wanted to extract the first three characters from the string “ABCDEFG”, you would enter “SUBSTRING(ABCDEFG,1,3)”. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using substring, it is important to remember that the starting position is counted from 1 and not 0. Additionally, if you want to extract all characters from a certain point onwards, you can use the command “SUBSTRING(string,start_position)” without specifying a length.
