>>Hi,

>>I need to create a function to replace the expression "!empty(mytable.myfield)" with "len(mytable.myfield)>0" (to make it work for SQL server).
>>I played with SUBSTR and STRTRAN functions but can't seem to find a way to get around the fact that the "mytable.myfield" changes from one expression to another. So it has to be "generic."
>>I would appreciate any suggestions
