into strint in this fashion
V1

         1   1   0    1    .
         3   4   3     0    .

Hi Khaleel,

Into numbers:

do repe i = 1 to 5 / x = v2 to v6.
compute x = number(substr(v1, i, 1), f1).
end repe.
exe.
form  v2 to v6 (f1).

Into strings:

string v2 to v6 (a1).
do repe i = 1 to 5 / x = v2 to v6.
compute x = substr(v1, i, 1).
end repe.
exe.

Choose what is better for you.

Jan
