<td><h5>substring(column,beginInclusive)</h5></td>
<td>Get column.substring(beginInclusive). Output is a STRING.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><h5>substring(column,beginInclusive,endExclusive)</h5></td>
<td>Get column.substring(beginInclusive,endExclusive). Output is a STRING.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><h5>truncate(column,width)</h5></td>
<td>Truncate column by width. Output type is the same with column. If the column is a STRING, truncate(column,width) will truncate the string to width characters, namely `value.substring(0, width)`.
If the column is an INT or LONG, truncate(column,width) will truncate the number with the algorithm `v - (((v % W) + W) % W)`. The `redundant` compute part is to keep the result always positive.
If the column is a DECIMAL, truncate(column,width) will truncate the decimal with the algorithm: let `scaled_W = decimal(W, scale(v))`, then return `v - (v % scaled_W)`.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><h5>cast(value,dataType)</h5></td>
<td>Get a constant value. The output is an atomic type, such as STRING, INT, BOOLEAN, etc.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><h5>upper(value)</h5></td>
<td>Convert string column to upper case. The input should be a STRING and the output is a STRING.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><h5>lower(value)</h5></td>
<td>Convert string column to lower case. The input should be a STRING and the output is a STRING.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><h5>trim(value)</h5></td>
<td>Trim string column. The input should be a STRING and the output is a STRING.</td>
