Hi,

I have a Name field in which the valid values are alphabets, numerics, hyphen and ampersand. From any of these if I have some thing else I need to move spaces into the field at that point. Please find the examples below.This name field is declared as alpha numeric.

Eg 1:

If my Input is like this
Name = rakesh*naredlla then
my output should be
Name = rakesh naredlla

Eg 2:
Input
Name = rakesh/naredlla
Output
Name = rakesh naredlla

Please help me out in this

Rakesh,

A similar topic was discussed some few days back. Do a search.

Thanks,
Arun

Use the CLASS clause and an inline PERFORM with reference modification against the field....
