BTW, if you want clean up Field 1 and remove the 4 character unit number
from the end of the field, try this after you've updated Col2:
UPDATE TableName SET +
Col1 = (SGET(Col1,( (SLEN(Col1)) - 4),1))
In a test db, of course.

OK, this will untested code should get the last 4 characters of the 1st
col and concatenate "UNIT" and those 4 characters to col 2.
UPDATE TableName SET +
Col2 = (Col2 & 'UNIT' & (SGET(Col1,4,((SLEN(Col1)) - 4))) )
The only thing I'm sure of is the parenthesis are balanced. :)

Just a quick shot. IF ... IF there's only one in field1, the
SSUBCD function can see it as the "custom delimiter":
SET VAR vfield_1_entire TEXT = 'Smith a.4503'
SET VAR vfield_1_last4 TEXT = (SSUBCD(.vfield_1_entire,2,'.'))
Result:
SHOW VAR vfield_1_last4 = 4503
The length of the field after
Yes, but it is not a numeric field.

Do all rows have numeric 4 last characters?
If not, then after extracting them, they have to be tested.
Otherwise you'd end up with "13566 Jones Road UNIT h a."
Doable with functions, I think; just need more info.

Good afternoon everyone:
I am working with Myron at the Sun City West Posse in Sun City West,
Arizona. I am trying to update a field in my table using that field and
concatenating something to it.
In Excel, it would look like this:
Field 1 Field 2
Smith a.4503 13566 Jones Road 13566
My version is just 6.5, no ++.
