Hi, all:
I found these codes written from previous programmer. Is it the (1,length(indicator)-1) in IND and (length(indicator),1) in TYPE are the same? Please help. Thanks.
Y
IND=substr(INDICATOR,1,length(indicator)-1);
TYPE=substr(INDICATOR,length(indicator),1);
IND is the whole string except the last character
TYPE is the last character
IND is the whole string except the last character
TYPE is the last character
I don't quite understand why TYPE is the last character.
SUBSTR( ) Used on Right Side on Assignment Statement.
For example, "ybz12003" has length 8, so the string of length 1 starting at position 8 is "3".
Thanks
