Can any one help me for the following question.

I want to remove the character value from input field to output field.
Example. A contains 10:20:22(Time) -Input field.
I want to remove the colon from A field and the result should be 102022.

Please let me know is there any function to acheive this.

In REXX (you didn't specify what language) you can use a combination of two functions: TRANSLATE (translate the colon to a space) and SPACE (to remove the resulting spaces):

/* REXX */
STR = TIME()
SAY STR
STR = SPACE(TRANSLATE(STR,'',':'),0)
SAY STR

I wanted to say that but as I am late here is another possibility (less efficient I think):

/* REXX */
STR = TIME()
SAY STR
PARSE VAR STR HH ':' MM ':' SS
STR = HH || MM || SS
SAY STR
