RE: EDTWRD for IP adress

Hi,

Split it in four numeric parts, and concatenate these with dots after having
used %EditC (with suppression of leading zeros !) on them.

BTW... how do you get an IP-address of 12 numeric ?  (all API's deliver it
either correctly formatted or as 32bit integer).

Kind regards,
Paul

Subject: EDTWRD for IP adress


Hello all,

I have a field that holds an IP address (numeric 12 digits). I want to
display/print it as 999.999.999.999

I tought I'd used the edit word EDTWRD('   .   .   .   ')

But this does not work because the "." is considered the decimal separatior.

Is there an easy way to format an IP address on a report?

thanks
