Use the

reverse

function.

Forms 6i might not support this. In that case, make a stored procedure to do it for you and call the stored procedure.

Dear,

Please try this code.

Set Serveroutput on
Declare
A Varchar2(15):='Bangladesh';
B Number;
C Varchar2(15);

Begin

Select Length(A) Into B From Dual;

For i in 1.. b loop

C:=substr(A,1,i);

dbms_output.put_line('Value of String .. '||C);

end loop;

End;

Output'll be.

Value of String .. B
Value of String .. Ba
Value of String .. Ban
Value of String .. Bang
Value of String .. Bangl
Value of String .. Bangla
Value of String .. Banglad
Value of String .. Banglade
Value of String .. Banglades
Value of String .. Bangladesh

Hope it'll help you.

Regards,
Irfan
