See pages 350/351 of the manual for general info on doing this type of thing. I think there is also a tech bulletin on this exact requirement.
In the "Then" part of Global Change, use ACT EQ RIGHT(ACT,8) This should work for any length of Id. (If what remains is purely numeric, it will be treated as such and will be right-justified. There is a way of removing leading blanks for display purposes only. Id have to look up how to do that.)

Likaa,
You can also use other string function like SS and SUBTR
try in the then statement ACT EQ SS(ACT,3,8), this will do as the one posted by Arthur. Try it.

When you add additional digit is fine, but when you delete digit from existing schedule you need to be careful of "Duplicated" activity Id

Of course, as always, do a "Trial run"!
