Hello people,

Can somebody suggest a method to change the first 4 characters in an activity ID using global change ? I am using P3e 4.1

Thanx in advance

    Hi Naveen,
    you can use the substring function of global change. It’s well described in the Help-Function - search, then enter "substring". But I’m not sure if this parameter already existed in 4.1.

    Hi Dieter,

    Thanx 4 ur response. The substring funtion is helping me only in extracting the characters from the activty ID & not changing it. For exapmple, my activity ID’s are such as UTII-WWTC-0025, UTII-FG-0010 etc., Now in all these, I want to change UTII to UT2. The substring function is only extracting the first four character UTII !!

    Regards

    Hi Naveen
    after you extracted the not used values, try

    activity id = "abcd" & activity id to add the prefix "abcd"

    How to enter "abcd"?
    You click on custom in the selection window. Now you may enter any string.

    Regards

    Select the first activity ID, Select Edit-Replace and type in the characters that you wish to change.
