i want to remove leading Zero from PersonnelNumber in HcmWorker Table,

for example :

PersonnelNumber

0925 to 925

0926 to 926

0927 to 926

how to do this? and what are after effects after removing 0's, mean to say which table records effected...

    How depends on what's the exact logic you want to use. Most likely you want to remove all "0" characters on the beginning of each personnel number. One possible implementation is finding the first non-zero character and use the position in subStr().

    Be aware of that it could (depending on your data) create duplicate values, which would cause the process to fail. You should check for this problem before actually changing any data (and update the logic if needed).

    I'm not sure what you mean by "to say which table records effected". It's done by your code, so you can add any kind of logging you like.

    Though primary key of this table is based on RecId and majority of other tables which has realtion to HCMWorker are using foreign key relationship, Also on update() method of HCMWorker table, there is code already to update related financial dimensions, so you can give  try to update personnel number by x++. This update will be like writing a normal update query.

    Don't forget to have a backup or transactional DB before attempting this

    Might be Help this code.

    static void LeadingNumberConversion1(Args _args)
{
    str ppu,rTrim;
    int counter;
    container _trimStr = ["0","."];
    ppu='0000625';
    rTrim = ppu;
    for(counter = 1; counter <= strLen(rTrim); counter++)
    {
     if(confind(_trimStr, strdel(rTrim, 2, strlen(rTrim))))
     {
       rTrim = strdel(rTrim, 1, 1);
       info(strFmt("price per unit=%1",rTrim));
     }
     else
     {
       info(strFmt("price per unit=%1",rTrim));
       break;
     }
    }
}
