Rtrim And Ltrim?

Oct 5, 2004

I have some data that contains spaces both before and after the text string, and now I'm wondering what would be the best method to remove these blanks (sometimes there are no blanks, so I can't check with a specifik width)?

Is it possible to do something like:

set foo = ltrim(rtrim(foo))

or do I have to split it into 2 steps?

This trimming will be done in update & insert statements

LTRIM In Grouping

Jun 13, 2007

Hello All,



I am trying to ltrim a portion of multiple fields in a grouping. I am able to do it for one of them, but unfortunately there are several I have to do it for. If I use the following expression, it works for that one.




Code Snippet

=iif(Fields!BankNumber.Value="083" and Fields!TestName.Value="Inquiry Menu - Bank 083",LTRIM("Inquiry Menu"),Fields!TestName.Value)



However, if I try and do it for more than one it errors out. For example...






Code Snippet

=iif(Fields!BankNumber.Value="083" and Fields!TestName.Value="Inquiry Menu - Bank 083",LTRIM("Inquiry Menu"),Fields!TestName.Value)

OR iif(Fields!BankNumber.Value="083" and Fields!TestName.Value="Search Menu - Bank 083",LTRIM("Search Menu"),Fields!TestName.Value)

OR iif(Fields!BankNumber.Value="083" and Fields!TestName.Value="SEAX - Bank 083",LTRIM("SEAX"),Fields!TestName.Value)



Is there another way to arrange this so I can LTRIM each field group seperately?



Thanks,

Clint

Automatic RTRIM????

Aug 3, 2007

Could anyone explain why this happens:


-- All outputs works but only the first should

select 'works' where '1' = '1'

select 'works' where '1' = '1 '

select 'works' where '1 ' = '1'


Seems to me like trailing blanks are automatically trimmed, why?

Contitional Split, LTRIM

Apr 11, 2007

I am trying to follow an SSIS tutorial. It is doing a transformation on mainframe data.

It has the statement LTRIM(State) == '' in the Condititonal split editor.

The data type is DT_STR.

Nothing works (dbl quote,brackets, ect)

I have also tried to change the type to DT_WSTR. According to docs ltrim only works with Unicode.

Can someone please tell me how to detect an empty string.

Thanks for any help

SQL 2012 :: How To Use RTRIM In Case Statement

Oct 1, 2015

I have a DistributorInvoiceNumber that can end with in 'R', 'A', 'CRR' or 'CR'.I am trying to write a case statement like so:

CASE WHEN RIGHT([ih].[DistributorInvoiceNumber],1) = 'A'
THEN 'ADJ'
WHEN RIGHT([ih].[DistributorInvoiceNumber],1) = 'R'
THEN 'REV'
WHEN RIGHT([ih].[DistributorInvoiceNumber],3) = 'CRR'
THEN 'REV'
WHEN RIGHT([ih].[DistributorInvoiceNumber],2) = 'CR'
THEN 'CREDIT'
ELSE NULL END AS 'Status'

For the most part the code is working, with the exception of the fields that just end in 'R'. An example of this is 471268R, 2525125901CRR, 11100325230CR
Basically if the number ends with an A, then its an Adjustment, if it ends with JUST an R, then its a Reversal; if it ends with just a CR then it is a Credit and if it ends with CRR then it is a Reversal (Credit Reversal). How can I differentiate between the different R's since three of them end with R? Would I use a RTRIM command somehow?

SQL Server Do Host Variables Need Rtrim

Aug 13, 2007

I understand that for SQL Server rtrim is not needed in where clause equates because SQL Server

automatically trims the spaces. Is rtrim necessary when comparing to a host variable since rtrim is a deterministic function? It it needed in the following example
Select ....
where
TEXT = rtrim(:I--HV-001)

TEXT is a varchar column in the SQL Server database and it is getting compared to the host variable.

SQL Server 2005 Is Rtrim Needed In Where Clause?

Aug 13, 2007

When is RTRIM needed in a Select ... where clause. I noticed that if I have a column named TEXT varchar(17) which is varchar and in the where clause I state where
TEXT = 'This is the text'
or I state
TEXT = 'This is the text ' followed by 4 spaces

The equate still works - so when do I need RTRIM?

Do I need RTRIM for a host variable:
...where TEXT = RTRIM(:VAR_001)
if the host variable is the same length as the TEXT column field in the SQL Server 2005 database?
