I need to move the move the above data using SQL into new fields that have been created in the same table
Newfield1 = FTMYFLXA04W Newfield2 = VPI0043 Newfield3 = VCI0184 Newfield4 = SLT005 Newfield5 = PRT00001
I'm thinking I need to use INSTR but I don't understand how use it for this purpose.
Here's what I'm trying to do in plan english.
Select User1 field
start in position 1
Select all characters to space into Newfield1.
Select all characters from newfield1+space to nextspace into Newfield2
etc
etc
Can someone please give me an example of how to accomplish this.
Thanks
