| I guess the front of this would be Microsoft SharePoint, but I would like to see it done in SQL if possible. The reason why I need to change this is because I need to add another field to this. We are combinding our provider ID which the field is called pcsa_pro + the effective date which is pcsp_eff.So the end result would look like this....the first eight number are the ID and the rest is the effective date.0000000219990401 |
