Betreff: SQL: Remove a character from a string (regardless position)


Hi list!

I have a file (with a couple of thousand records in it) that has a field
called FNAME (10/A) and I want to be able to remove the last character of
the value. I may have:

FILAX
TEMPERED
IGLANDT

So after the execution of the SQL, I want to have:

FILA
TEMPERE
IGLAND

How I do that in SQL?

Thanks!
