substr? How can I retrieve the codes that are only 6 characters

I have this request
 
SELECT 
distinct
SUBSTR(A.STVSBGI_CODE,1,6),
SUBSTR(B.STVSBGI_CODE,1,6),
A.STVSBGI_TYPE_IND,
B.STVSBGI_CODE, 
B.STVSBGI_TYPE_IND
FROM 
stvsbgi A ,
stvsbgi_TEST6C B
WHERE A.STVSBGI_TYPE_IND = 'C'
AND B.STVSBGI_TYPE_IND = 'C'
AND instr(A.STVSBGI_CODE,1,6) =  instr(B.STVSBGI_CODE,1,6)
I want to be able to extract ONLY the values (STVSBGI_CODE) where the SUBSTR (A.STVSBGI_CODE, 1, 6).
There are codes in the tables of 4 characters, the query gives me 4-6 characters...
How can I write the query to get the 6-character codes
Thank yoou

Hello

If you want to only include lines in the output, if the code is at least 6 characters?
Add to the WHERE clause:

AND     LENGTH (a.stvsbgi_code)     >= 6

It doesn't matter if you use a. stvsbgi_code and b. stvsbgi_code in this State; the join condition is already excluding the lines where it is less than 6 characters but the other is not.

I hope that answers your question.
If not, post a small example of data (CREATE TABLE and only relevant columns, INSERT statements) for all tables and also post the results desired from these data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get these results from these data.
Always tell what version of Oracle you are using.
