Offset in Wehere Clause on Left side not possible

Question

Hi ,
  IF NOT i_vbrk[] IS INITIAL.
  SELECT bukrs belnr gjahr blart
         FROM bkpf
         INTO TABLE i_bkpf
         FOR ALL ENTRIES IN i_vbrk
         WHERE bukrs =  c_br1       AND
               gjahr = i_vbrk-fkdat+4(4) AND
               blart = c_cr         AND
               awtyp = c_vbrk       AND
               awkey = i_vbrk-vbeln.
endif.
In above select Statement  AWKEY is Char20 and i_vbrk-vbeln is Char10 so there is mismatch while comparing in Where Clause.
Actaully i have to take first 10 char of AWKEY  and have to compare with  i_vbrk-vbeln in WHERE Clause but on left side we can not write awkey+0(10) ....can you you suggest how to resolve this problem.
Thanks

Hi PK,
You can easily solve this problem.
Do one thing.
Declare a variable
v_awkey Like bkpf-awkey.
before select stmt use this FM.
FUNCTION CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT.
       IMPORTING
             INPUT   =  i_vbrk-vbeln
       EXPORTING
             OUTPUT = v_awkey.
IF NOT i_vbrk[] IS INITIAL.
SELECT bukrs belnr gjahr blart
FROM bkpf
INTO TABLE i_bkpf
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN i_vbrk
WHERE bukrs = c_br1 AND
gjahr = i_vbrk-fkdat+4(4) AND
blart = c_cr AND
awtyp = c_vbrk AND
awkey = v_awkey..
endif.
It will work then.
Reward if helpful.
