Re: SQL question - trim leading alphabetic characters

When I tried this on ABC123 I got BC123. Reversing the order of the
trim (C B A) produced 123.

SELECT TRIM(LEADING 'A' FROM

TRIM(LEADING 'C' FROM myField)))
FROM myLib/myFile

Thanks, I can nest that 26 deep and hope it doesn't run _too_ slowly :)
