you can use substr
like set &newch=&substr(1:1),&character)
to get the first char of that symbol
and concatenate them together
newchar=(ABC&newch)
I think that would work

In a clist, how would I strip the first character from a system symbolic and create a
variable ending in that character? For example, "ABC&CHARACTER"
