Kunal Purohit 4 How to remove prefix 'Mr.' from Account object?
I want to remove prefix 'Mr.' from my Account object. I have tried through the BatchApex class. But still its not working.
public class BatchApex1 implements database.Batchable<Sobject> {
public database.QueryLocator start(database.BatchableContext Bc)
{
string query='select id,name from Account';
return database.getQueryLocator(query);
}
public void execute(database.BatchableContext Bc, list<Account> alist)
{
for(account a:alist)
{
a.name= a.Name.removeStart('Mr.');
}
update alist;
system.debug(alist);
}
public void finish(database.BatchableContext Bc)
{
}
}
public class BatchApex1 implements database.Batchable<Sobject> {
public database.QueryLocator start(database.BatchableContext Bc)
{
string query='select id,name from Account';
return database.getQueryLocator(query);
}
public void execute(database.BatchableContext Bc, list<Account> alist)
{
for(account a:alist)
{
a.name= a.Name.removeStart('Mr.');
}
update alist;
system.debug(alist);

Are you referring to person accounts?
If yes then you can do the following in your execute method
public class BatchApex1 implements database.Batchable<Sobject> {
public database.QueryLocator start(database.BatchableContext Bc)
{
string query='select id,name,ISSN_Number__c from Account';
return database.getQueryLocator(query);
}
public void execute(database.BatchableContext Bc, list<Account> alist)
{
for(Account a:alist)
{
if(a.Name.startsWith('Mr.'))
{
a.name= a.name.removeStart('Mr.');
a.ISSN_Number__c= 2;
}
}
update alist;
}
public void finish(database.BatchableContext Bc)
{
}
}
