Answer 1

Db2 for i 7.2 supports the REGEXP_REPLACE function

Try this

SELECT c, REGEXP_REPLACE(c,'(\s+\S*\d+\s*$)',',\1') 
FROM TABLE(
    VALUES
     ('VIA MILANO 123     ')
    ,('VIA MILANO A123    ')
    ,('VIA 11 MILANO AA123')
) AS t(c)

returns

 C                      2
 -------------------    --------------------
 VIA MILANO 123         VIA MILANO, 123
 VIA MILANO A123        VIA MILANO, A123
 VIA 11 MILANO AA123    VIA 11 MILANO, AA123

Regular Expressions provide a powerful and flexible way to manipulate strings , and it is worth learning about them.
