DATA: BEGIN OF itab_odoe OCCURS 0,
  department_text LIKE t527x-orgtx,"Holds the short text for department
  department_no LIKE pernr-orgeh,
  pernr LIKE pernr-pernr,
  ename LIKE pernr-ename,
  grade like t503t-ptext,   "THIS AREA GET ME TEXT OF EMPLOYEE SUBGROUP"
*  department_text LIKE t527x-orgtx,"Holds the short text for department
  current_year LIKE sy-datum,
  wt0001 LIKE q0008-betrg,"Basic Pay
  wt1101 LIKE q0008-betrg," COLA
  wt3002 LIKE p0015-betrg,"Overtime
  per_basic type p DECIMALS 2,"Overtime percentage on basic
  per_basic_sum type p decimals 2,"Overtime Sum Division
  overtime_sum LIKE p0015-betrg,"holds sum of overtime
  basic_sum like q0008-betrg,"holds sum of basic
END OF itab_odoe.
Im using the select statement to get the employee subgroup from the table
select single ptext
    from t503t
    into itab_odoe-grade
    where persk eq pernr-persk
    AND SPRSL eq 'EN'.
now in itab_odoe-grade the values comes is Workers (7) , Snr Mgt (M3)
i want to show only the text in Brackets.
