hai,
I got a table in which combined data is present in a particular column.I want to get that data seperately and want to use that for the other purpose.I also have the field positions for the combined data.
Thanks

if you have the field position then use the substring functionality to split the data.

However, you could use the LEFT, RIGHT and MID functions.
Extract the data into your input card using a query then split up the field as required.
