Situation is I have a 13 byte alpha field in a vendor supplied table on the
400.

The first 9 positions are a next number field as 000123456 followed by 4
blanks.

We are putting a .NET app together that needs to update/increment the
numeric portion of the data by 2 (in this example it would then be
000123458).. We've tried various combinations of CAST, CONVERT, SUBSTRING
etc without any luck

Thanks
