<< Select SubString(Subject From 4 For Length(Subject)-7) AS Patients, Notes from WaitList The length function in this statment is not working seems to e a bug.? >> Per email: What are you trying to accomplish with your SQL statement ? The LENGTH function works fine, so I assume the issue is that you are expecting a different result than what you are getting from the SUBSTRING function. By the way that you constructed your SQL statement, it appears that you might expect that the FOR parameter to the SUBSTRING function acts like a right position, and that's not the case. The FOR parameter represents the number of characters to extract, starting from the FROM position. Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

I'm not seeing any improper behavior here with EDB and the LENGTH or SUBSTRING functions. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
