How to change first numbers of a telephone number - HELP

Assuming the variable that includes the phone numbers is a CHAR, please check the REPLACE function:

REPLACE changes all instances of one or more characters in a set of characters with a character string.

To change the first three characters of a string, do this:

substring(varname, 1, 3) = "123".

If this is a space-delimited string, there's also

ENTRY(1, varname, " ") = "123".

Neither are very intuitive, but they work.

Hi

First, thank you for your fast reply.

Your solution, Salvador Vinals, is good, but one problem is there:

If the telephone number contains that the preselection twice, these are also changed.

Example: 01 675 55 01 to 044 675 55 01,

But it becomes so: 044 675 55 044.

Thanks for your answers
