Re: Editcode Keyword

HI Srinivas,

Edit Code allows you to format a number the way you would like to see it.
Edit Word is similar.

Ever use Query and went into field formating?

Do you want commas to separate the thousands?
Do you want to see a blank or a '0' for a zero amount?
How do you want to represent a negative amount: 'CR', '-', or ' '?
Do you want leading zeroes suppressed?
If the number will always be positive, then you can save the space and
tell it no sign.

When using CODE to design your screens, it will show you the format of the
field as you select the various edit codes.

Here are some examples:

Edit Code J:
123456 looks like: 123,456
-123456 looks like: 123,456-
0 looks like: 0

Edit Code K:
123456 looks like: 123,456
-123456 looks like: 123,456-
0 looks like: (blanks)

Hope this helps.
