Dear all,

i have a variable called E, which is the completed date of an acquisition (see screenshot). The variable is non-numeric string and in %14s format. De date in the variable is displayed as follows:
11jan2001. Now I want to created a new variable called fyear and subtract the last four digits (=year of acquisition) from the E variable. I've got problems doing this because the variable is non-numeric. Is there anyone who can help me?

Thanks in advance!Array
