I get incorrect result when i try to do a substring within a stored proc,but the same thing if i try it in a query window gives me proper results.
declare @FinalCol_List as varchar(100)
Set @FinalCol_List= '11,22,33,bb,'
print @FinalCol_List
IF LEN(@FinalCol_List) > 0
SET @FinalCol_List = SUBSTRING(@FinalCol_List, 1, LEN(@FinalCol_List) - 1)
print @FinalCol_List

Using SQL Remove the Last character in a String
There are cases when we may need to remove only the last character after we have done some concatenation.
In SQL Query we can do it using Substring and Left
Substring
SUBSTRING (Text,Start_From,Till_lenght)
Remove a comma, at the end of the string
Eg: select substring('1,2,3,4,5,', 1, (len('1,2,3,4,5,') - 1))
LEFT :
LEFT gives and output of the string from starting to end
Eg: SELECT LEFT(String, LEN(String) - 1)
The same can be used to trim data from the Right
Eg: SELECT RIGHT(String, LEN(String) - 1)
