I have a field called membernum. It has numbers such as 101, 2801, 11202 and so on. I need to break that apart. I need the last two characters in their own field and the remaining to stay in the current field. Could anyone please help me, I'm having a brain fried day.

Assuming the field is character:


REPLACE ALL NewField WITH RIGHT(ALLTRIM(OldField),2)
REPLACE ALL OldField WITH LEFT(ALLTRIM(OldField), LEN(ALLTRIM(OldField))-2)
