David,boxes
The data that I tryied to send along is from a client's print to file
statements. The records that we are working against are from the total
on the statement. In the data field in question, there are 5 separatetotal
fields in an alpha field 100 bytes in length.
The SQL statement I had included with my attempt to share a few of the
records seems to be doing the trick. While it gives us 2 totals, it
works
for our purposes since the amounts are always in the same location. Wejust
change the byte location in the statement for the other 4 total fields.
select sum(decimal(replace((substring(fldname,1,17)),'$',''),9,2,'.'))
FROMfilename WHERE recid = '3' GROUP BY substring(fldname,18,1)
The recid field contains the area of the statement that the data was
located.
However, you did present some interesting ideas. I have not explored
the "locate" usage as of yet. I can think of a couple other
opportunities for
something like that. Thank you for that.data.

Subject: RE: SQL String to numeric conversion
From the RPG list
I had a go at this :
My sample data : ( you didn't give exact information ) select $ from
dollars
....+....1
$
$ 302.54
$1.59-
$33.60-
My statement :
with mytable as (
SELECT length(trim($)), locate('.', trim($)), substr(trim($), 2,
locate('.', trim($))-2) as dollars , substr(trim($), locate('.',
trim($))+1, 2) as cents , right(trim($), 1) as sign FROM dollars
)
select case when sign ='-' then dollars concat cents
*-1 else dollars concat cents end as cents from mytable
Result is a list in cents :
...1....
CENTS
30.254
159-
3.360-
I didn't want to go further because we need more details about your
