Re: Does DB2/400 have REPEAT function like PLSQL in Oracle?

Hi Dave,

If you want to convert it to a character field with leading zeros, use the DIGITS(fldname) function.

Chuck, et al,
Just to be clear, the data my programmer is accessing is defined as a zoned decimal field in DB2/400. The field is 9 digits but a normal return from a query does not return the leading zeros which is what she wants.
If necessary, I think I'll use REXX and SQL since REXX is super at string manipulation.
Thanks,
Dave
