Sorry, the hex string was a typo.

However, what I'm trying to do is to set the value of a -portion- of a column/field and I think that's where the ACS Run SQL Scripts editor is slapping my hand. Revising my earlier example:

UPDATE myTable
SET SUBSTR(myColumn,4,1)=x'8F'

The editor sez: Message: [SQL0104] Token ( was not valid. Valid tokens: =.
