Brian, thank you your syntax LENGTH(RTRIM(field)) ...


Jack - if you intend to use the result in a substring then I can't quite
understand why you need the value at all.  A VARCHAR implicitly limits
itself to its actual (rather than storage) length when used in operations.
SO why do you need a substring op at all?  Unless I guess you are extracting
the back end of the string.
