Hello,

I am using translate function in my Data services as below but it doesn't work. I am actually want to replace all numerics in my string with blank. Neither it throws any error nor it updates the value.

Please help.

    Can't see a problem here either.

    https://help.sap.com/viewer/8092b085a68941f6aaa6708685a62b0d/4.2.12/en-US/f3fa7c7124134767b473ee5d07c89894.html

    What I would do next is creating a job, a script within and in the script use something like

    print(translate('Test4Data', '1234567890', ' '));

    From the SAP Data Services Reference Guide:

    Returns the input string translated in the following way: The software replaces all occurrences of each character in the <from string> with the corresponding character in the <to string>.

    translate(table.field, '1234567890', '') removes all digits from the input

    translate(table.field, '1234567890', ' ') replaces all 1's by a blank and removes all other digits from the input

    translate(table.field, '1234567890', ' ') replaces all digits from the input by a blank
