Capp,

You have 2 cast statements, but only one data type listed. What is "cess1"? And position returns an integer, so why do you need any casts at all?

Or are you trying to substring 3 characters out of sh.tobacco_comment FOLLOWING the phrase "cessation"? What data type is sh.tobacco_comment?

Assuming it is character, perhaps the following could help you:

     Select substring (sh.tobacco_comment from (position ('cessation' in
     sh.tobacco_comment) + 9) for 3)
     From Table
     Where position ('cessation' in sh.tobacco_comment) > 0;

If you have more info, that would be helpful.

Good luck,

Jason
