This expression should give the label you want:

Function FindLabel ( [COGO] )
  s = split( [COGO], "-" )
  FindLabel = s(0) & chr(176) & s(1) & chr(39) & s(2) & chr(34)
End Function

I am new with ArcGIS 10.1 - Can somebody enlighten me on how to use the code :-

Function FindLabel ( [COGO] )
s = split( [COGO], "-" )
FindLabel = s(0) & chr(176) & s(1) & chr(39) & s(2) & chr(34)
End Function

in a step by step ways to enable a new attribute to be created or replaced on the 180-0-0 format to the degree minute second format. Help very much appreciated. TQ

PYTHON CODE TO CHANGE DASH VALUES TO DEGREE MINUTE SECOND

I'm a novice in programming and would appreciate if somebody can provide me with a Python code that can convert the values in my cogo "Direction" field in the "180-0-0" format to the degree minute second format so that I can used the labels when printing out my traverse map. TQ.
