Hi,

I have a set of names with the format Title, First name and Last name like below



I want to remove the First name from these records and display only Title and Last name as below



I read SQZ parameter can be used to left/right squeeze the spaces but not sure if that is appropriate in my scenario.
Could you please let me know what other options I have to achieve this.

How are you planning to remove the first names?

Use PARSE to split the fields into 3 variables (%00, %01, %02) then BUILD using only the first and third variables (%00, %02).
