Expression

public final class LeftExpression
extends AbstractDoubleEncapsulatedExpression

The LEFT function return the leftmost substring, respectively, of the first argument whose length is given by the second argument. LEFT function returns a string.
Jakarta Persistence 3.2:

BNF ::= LEFT(string_expression, simple_arithmetic_expression)

Example: UPDATE Employee e SET e.firstName = LEFT('TopLink Workbench', 7)
