update string

Former Member — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 09:58:01 GMT

Hi all,

I would like to add a '%' to a string always at position 5 in the string e.g.

XXXX1234567

becomes XXXX%1234567

Is this possible?

Hi,

It is possible.

String = XXXX1234567.

str1 = String+0(4).

str2 = String+4(7).

Concatenate str1 '%' str2 into string1.

string1 will have XXXX%1234567

Hello,

Just to add on to the above point....

if we have a case where the number of characters can vary..always use the "Strlen"

Character_field = XXXX1234567.

Data :length type i.

length = strlen(character_field)

" length will now contain the number of characters.

and based on this we can do the concatenate or move

Hi Uma,

the times are over when coding was paid per line

what about


concatenate string(4) '%' string+4 into string.

In both cases a check strlen( string ) > 4 is mandatory.
