How to select only last 4 characters in a column of type varchar2

garyNbostonSep 9 2010 — edited Sep 9 2010
The data in column P_JACKS.LABEL is in the form of:

294-001,
B01-099,
194A-098,....

I'd like to select only the 3 characters following the '-' dash, and find the maximum of that set.

This must be simple, I know, but so am I. Can someone please help me with this?

Thanks!!
