Why do you think you need to trim the Id? If you really need this, just do substring(0, 15)

 

a.Survey_Dt__c update it with present date one 1( i.e next day).

 

Date.today().addDays(1); // tomorrow

Thank you . I need the ID to be trimmed because only 15 character id can be displayed in my reports. From what i have been told as a requirement.
