use MID/Left,Right The number will be coerced into a string

lngVal = 1234567890
? mid(lngVal,4,5)
45678
? left(lngVal,5)
12345
? right(lngVal,5)
67890

How can I read specific digits (e.g. last five digits, or the middle five
or
whatever..) from a numerical variable (A)?

The digits I read from variable A, I need to put in another numeric
variable
(B).

Thanks in advance!
