to remove the last column

Hi Guys,

I want to remove the last column of my file..
My file looks like this..

Code:
UPDATE TRDSTG.STRDCLM2 SET C_TREAD_COMPONENT='NR', X_MEMO_REF='M:LOP8 F 2009' WHERE C_SOURCE='CSC' AND D_QTR_APPLBTY=200902 AND I_DOCUMENT=381917678 AND C_TREAD_COMPONENT='GP' AND C_SFTY_CSQ='W08J01182' AND X_MEMO_REF='G:LOP8 F 2009';

I want it as
Code:
UPDATE TRDSTG.STRDCLM2 SET C_TREAD_COMPONENT='NR', X_MEMO_REF='M:LOP8 F 2009' WHERE C_SOURCE='CSC' AND D_QTR_APPLBTY=200902 AND I_DOCUMENT=381917678 AND C_TREAD_COMPONENT='GP' AND C_SFTY_CSQ='W08J01182'

I tried cut command.. but of no use..
This is the command i tried

Code:
cut -d ' ' -f1,17

Regards,
Magesh

Guys,

@Vgresh99, i am still getting the whole line with the last column

Code:
p01: head -1 UPDATE.GCS.200902.LOP8.SQL |awk -F'AND' -v OFS='AND' '{NF=NF-1;$1=$1;print}'
UPDATE TRDSTG.STRDCLM2 SET C_TREAD_COMPONENT='06', X_MEMO_REF='M:LOP8 R 2008' WHERE C_SOURCE='GCS' AND D_QTR_APPLBTY=200902 AND I_DOCUMENT=386543609 AND C_TREAD_COMPONENT='GP' AND C_SFTY_CSQ='W09830102' AND X_MEMO_REF='G:LOP8 R 2008';

@malcomex, i am not getting any output itself

@ necroman,,your code worked fine..

Or, with Perl:

Code:
$
$ cat mac.txt
UPDATE TRDSTG.STRDCLM2 SET C_TREAD_COMPONENT='NR', X_MEMO_REF='M:LOP8 F 2009' WHERE C_SOURCE='CSC' AND D_QTR_APPLBTY=200902 AND I_DOCUMENT=381917678 AND C_TREAD_COMPONENT='GP' AND C_SFTY_CSQ='W08J01182' AND X_MEMO_REF='G:LOP8 F 2009';
$
$ perl -lne 's/(.*) AND.*/$1/; print' mac.txt
UPDATE TRDSTG.STRDCLM2 SET C_TREAD_COMPONENT='NR', X_MEMO_REF='M:LOP8 F 2009' WHERE C_SOURCE='CSC' AND D_QTR_APPLBTY=200902 AND I_DOCUMENT=381917678 AND C_TREAD_COMPONENT='GP' AND C_SFTY_CSQ='W08J01182'
