Re: MOVE functionality in Java?

["David Morris" <David.Morris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ron,

It appears that your integer is more than an integer and might be a
higher level object with its own toString method. The most common way to
format a numeric value is to use one of the java.text.NumberFormat class
or one of its children like DecimalFormat. So set it with something
like:

private static final NumberFormat numberFormat =
NumberFormat.getIntegerInstance();
...
numberFormat.setMinimumIntegerDigits(5);
formattedValue = "B" + numberFormat.format(input);

You could embed somthing like this into the higher-level object.

I realize this is more pertaining to Java.  But RPG programmers might
have 
a good answer as well, so I sent it to both lists.  Sorry.
I want to build a string such as "B00001" in Java using a string and an

integer.  Is this possible?  I know if it were RPG I'd use a MOVE 
function.  Any ideas?  TIA.

And sorry David.
