By "lost" I mean...the code is out there running, and we have versions of the source code in multiple locations. These multiple locations don't appear to be the version that is out there running. So, I was attempting to catch and correct the issue in the called SQL.

Just to reiterate...

I'm just looking for a way, that when passed "ABC DEF GHI", I could handle it in SQL to simply look only at the value up to the first space.

If that can't be done, that's fine...I was just doing some investigation...
