Doub about selecting part of string

Hi everyone,

I have a doubt on how to select part of string.

For example in the following code, in city from it may get the value 'NEW YORK CITY' instead of that I wanna show only 'NEW York'.

Is it possible to do NOT fix to a number of positions. In case to remove 'City' from 'Rio de Janeiro City'.

DATA: carrid TYPE s_carr_id,

       connid TYPE s_conn_id,

       cityfrom TYPE s_from_cit,

       cityto TYPE s_to_city.

START-OF-SELECTION.

   SELECT carrid connid cityfrom cityto FROM spfli

     INTO (carrid, connid, cityfrom, cityto) UP TO 1 ROWS.

   ENDSELECT.

   WRITE: / carrid,

               / connid,

               / cityfrom,

               / cityto.
