Hi,

The following statement will replace all characters following the first
blank through blanks:

update mytable                                   
   set Text = substr(Text, 1, Posstr(Text, ' ')) 
where PosStr(Text, ' ') > 0                      



Mit freundlichen Grüßen

i.A. Birgitta Hauser

Betreff: SQL question

HI I have to remidiate a bunch of files. Some programs are not
initializing properly so that some records, have a character at the end,
that should not be there ( belongs to a prev.)

I need to write a small prg that will look for a blank, then look for
something other than a blank, and replace w/ a blank. Can this be done
easily in SQL ?

Thanks,
Steve
