Hi everyone,

I need to remove the 4th character from Myfield where len(myfield) = 5

I have searched around and surprisingly can't find a way to do this. Any ideas?

Thanks!
 
You can use the STUFF function to do this.

Code:
Declare @Data VarChar(20)
Set @Data = '12345'

Select @Data, Stuff(@Data, 4, 1, '')
