Subject Equivalent of VFP6 LEFT() in FB
Author Namit Nathwani
Hi all

I have this FB table containing a BLOB (Text) field. For a remote views
select statement I have written this in VFP6 as below:

SELECT MCUSTOMSOFFICE.*, LEFT(MCUSTOMSOFFICE.mAddress, 44) AS cShortAddress ;
FROM MCUSTOMSOFFICE MCUSTOMSOFFICE ;
ORDER BY MCUSTOMSOFFICE.CNAME

The LEFT() does not seem to be recognized by FB/ODBC, what is the
equivalent of LEFT()

Please advise.




Regards
Bhavbhuti
