Hi,

Is there a way to detect the presence of '^Z' character in a field.

I tried using count() function.

But it is not detecting.

Thanks in advance

Exactly how did you use the Count() function? I would recommend

Code: Select all

Count(In.ColumnName,CHAR(26))

Can i replace the '^Z' character with space?

Is there a way to do it?

This could help you...

Convert(Char(26),' ',In.ColumnName)

The Convert function. You would have to check the syntax, but off the top of my head maybe something like Convert(Char(26)," ",variable)
