**Example**

In this example, we are passing the required parameters to the function transformation object using a *Variables* object.

Where,

*str =* ABCDEFGH

*noOfChars* = 3

Right-click on the function transformation object and select *Preview Output.* You can see that Astera Data Stack has returned a string of the specified *noOfChars*, from the right.
