    Hi,

    Write a simple User Defined Function.

    String inputNumber;

Int len= inputNumber.length();
String output= inputNumber.substr(len-6,len-1);
return output

    Regards

    Bhavesh

    Hi,

    You can use a simple UDF to do this. It will work even if its a number.

    The input to the UDFs' will always be string.

    input: a,

    put this code in your UDF,

    return a.substring(a.length()-5,a.length());

    This should work.

    Regards,
