Re: Field concatenation

Just because I've been in regex hell all morning on another project I decided to see how ugly it would be. If you have unicode installed, this works.
**Free
Dcl-s V1 Char(5);
Dcl-s V2 Char(5);
Dcl-s V3 Char(5);
Dcl-s V4 Char(5);
Dcl-s V5 Char(5);
Dcl-s V6 Char(5);
Dcl-S NewVar Char(35
);
Dcl-S WorkVar Char(35);

V1 = *Blanks;
V2 = '0.022';
V3 = *Blanks;
V4 = *Blanks;
V5 = '0.022';
V6 = *Blanks;

WorkVar = %Trim(V1) + ','
+ %Trim(V2) + ','
+ %Trim(V3) + ','
+ %Trim(V4) + ','
+ %Trim(V5) + ','
+ %Trim(V6);

Exec Sql Select Regexp_Replace(
Regexp_Replace(
Trim(:WorkVar),
',{3,}',',,',1,0,'c'),
'^,{2}|,{2}$',',',1,0,'c')
Into :NewVar
From sysibm.sysdummy1;

Dsply WorkVar;
Dsply NewVar;
*Inlr = *On;
Return;

I'll have to digest all these.
