    Hi All,

    How to Identify name starting with a specific letter without using like operator?

    Please help me out.

    Thanks in advance,

    Sharmi

    It depends... how slow do you want the code to actually run? 😀

    I join Gail in asking, why would anyone want to do such a thing? The courtesy of a reply would be much appreciated.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
