get the length of the variable. If ten:
memvar= substr(memvar,2,9)
or
Replace field with substr(memvar,2,9)
There is other ways to do this.

If you need to delete the first and last characters, your length would needto be 8, not 9.

Thanks Fred. Didn't test my code before I put it out there. I should know
