Re: WHAT IS DATENAME EQUIVQLENT FUNCTION IN HANA

I think I am not able to get you,

As per your last message, you want to filter out those Data whose month are starting with J for Jan or M for May or March.

If that is so. please use the below snippet, where I have tried to replicate the issue.

SELECT case when
 SUBSTRING(TO_VARCHAR('2016-03-25','YYYY-Mon-DD'),6,1) between NCHAR (65) and NCHAR (65+25) then 'correct' 
 else 'wrong'end as flag FROM DUMMY; -- Checking Char between Capital A till Z

After that you can filter out the 'wrong' in outer select statement.
