Here is my problem statement:
- I have single column table having the data like as :
ROW-1>> 7302-2210177000-XXXX-XXXXXX-XXX-XXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-U-XXXXXXXXX-XXXXXX ROW-2>> 0311-1130101-XXXX-000000-XXX-XXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-X-XXXXXXXXX-WIPXXX
Here i want to separate these values from '-' and load into a new table. There are 11 segments in this string separated by '-', therefore, 11 columns. The problem is:
A. The length of these values are changing, however, i have to keep it as the length of these values in the standard format or the length which it has e.g 7302- (should have four values, if the value less then that then keep that value eg. 73 then it should populate 73.
Therefore, i have to separate as well as mentation the integrity. The code which i am writing is :
select
SUBSTR(PROFILE_ID,1,(case when length(instr(PROFILE_ID,'-')<>4) THEN (instr(PROFILE_ID,'-') else SUBSTR(PROFILE_ID,1,4) end)
)AS [RQUIRED_COLUMN_NAME]
from [TABLE_NAME];
getting right parenthesis error
Please help.
