Re: SQL or maybe not ?

UPDATE MYFILE SET DOCNUM = (DOCNUM - 27000) + 72000 WHERE DOCNUM
between 27000 and 27200 Something like that should work. Copy the file to another library and give it a try.

I have 3 PF's where for a range of #'s I need to "fix" that #

Example


Field: DOCNUM

if DOCNUM is in the range 27000 to 27200 and the field DATE=20061120 then I
need to change the DOCNUM field to 72000 to 72200 (the first 2 digits are
transposed and need reversed)

I'd like to do this thru SQL (I need to do it after tonights save) but not
doing a lot with SQL (I did the SELECT's OK interactively). This is a one
time shot and don't really want to write programs to do it if I can help it.


I've done simple UPDATES but not changing just a "part" of a field.
