| Hi All,From a table I am getting the length of character in a column. My query is belowSELECT b.[file_id],b.[lineno],b.fileContent, datalength(b.fileContent) Length1FROM FileBascContent b join filebasic on filebasic.[file_id]=b.[file_id]WHERE substring(b.fileContent,1,4)not in('VOL1','HDR1','UHL1','UTL1','HDR2','EOF1','EOF2') and filebasic.[file_id]=347I am getting the result 98, 97 and 100 which is fine for me.Is there any way which will add space 2 or 3 and the length will be 100. Which I want is that all the length which are not 100, should be hundred.Is there any way to do that?Please help!Niladri Sekhar Biswas |

| If the data type of b.fileContent column is CHAR(100), then u can always get datalength(b.fileContent) = 100 and len(b.fileContent) is actual string length--Chandu |
