Re: BigDecimal

[Mike.Barton@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Of course you could write your own edit-code class !

Something similar I knocked up is below.  Just do a  {bigDecimal}.toString() &
pass
the resultant string inot this method. specifying the total length of field
required (length)

  public String formatString(String s, int length) {
    int i , j;
    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
    i = s.length();
    if (length > i) {
      for (j = i; j < length ; j++) { sb.append("0"); }
      for (j = 0 ; j < i ; j++){ sb.append(s.charAt(j)); }
      }
    }
    else { return(s); }
    return(sb.toString());
  }
