Help with Substr script

1 New Member
I am new to creating scripts and can do basic select and update scripting. I am trying to extract information from an Oracle database. The table is CAT1 and the fields are PART and FSC. I want to extract all lines in the PART field that match the FSC. The part field has a max of 20 characters and the FSC has a exact lenght of 4. I used a script to view the first 4 characters of the PART field
SELECT SUBSTR(PART, 1, 4)AS PART
FROM CAT1

But I want to extract the full PART field that match the FSC. An example would be
PART 5345010577654 with the FSC 5345

Maybe I shouldn't be using substr for this and I am lost :-)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Instead of trying the substr function u may consider using the instr function on the part key to match with fsc field from the table.It should help U pretty well in getting the results

This perl script goes through a list of files in IFILE and for each file, it sends it on to sendmail.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
