RE: Partial numeric field update in SQL

How about the following?
UPDATE LIBRARY.FILE
SET FIELD = FIELD + 100
WHERE FIELD between 200200 and 200299

    I have a file with a 6 digit numeric field. In that field is a YYYYMM
date. I'm trying to update the year to the next year. 2002 to 2003.

    My statement is:

UPDATE LIBRARY.FILE
SET SUBSTR(DIGITS(FIELD),4,1) = '3'
WHERE SUBSTR(DIGITS(FIELD),4,1) = '2';
