Paul,

FWIW ...

LTRIM is NOT going to clean up leading zeros.

If you need to TRIM leading an/or trailing "spaces", you may use the UPDATE command as follows:

UPDATE tablename SET columnname1 = (TRIM(columnname1)), columnname2 = (TRIM(columnname2)), columnname3 = (TRIM(columnname3))

Hope that helps!

Very Best R:egards,

Good afternoon,

It must be Monday, I’m fading already and it’s only 4:00. I’m using the latest version of R:BASE X Enterprise. I’d capturing some data from a SQL table into an R:BASE table and I’d like to “clean it up†some before I work on it. I know several of the columns have leading zeros. I know I can create a Declare loop and go thru each table and do an LTRIM on each column. I’m wondering if there is a slick SQL Update command that would allow me to clean up the whole table, even if I had to run it separately for each column?

Thanks in advance,
Paul Buckley
