Perfect. now let's imagine that '1234567890' is a function f_art_get_price(id_code), which returns in a string like the following 'XXXZMMM1234567890123yyyy/mm/dd' where 1234567890123 is the price and yyyy/mm/dd the date it was last changed price. How would you do in this case to obtain these values separately? without calling the function 2 times avoiding overloading the base? something like this select art.description, f_art_get_price_str( art.id ) as ls_price_and_date SUBSTRING( ls_price_and_date, 7, 13 ) from articulos; -----Mensaje original----- De: Stelios Sfakianakis [mailto:sgsfak@xxxxxxxxx] Enviado el: jueves, 27 de agosto de 2020 12:59 Para: Fontana Daniel C (Desartec S.R.L.)
