Hi,

I am trying to modify a text field and add "-" in OD and I don't know what function do I have to use.

Example of what I need.

I have 0123456789AB01 and I would like to change it to this format:

0123456789-AB-01.

Thanks!

What is "OD"?

As we speak Oracle, one way to do that could be splitting the string with the SUBSTR function and concatenating its parts with the '-' sign.
