Have you tried REPLACE?

-REPLACE(source-string,search-string,replace-string)---------><

Worth a shot

Hi

Do you know if in SQL on AS400 are some bult-in function which can
change some character to another - like dash "-" to space " ", and other
which can delete all space from text - so it will change "TOMASZ SKORZA"
to "TOMASZSKORZA"?
