Re: AW: Putting Leading Zeros in Sql ?

Hi Carel,

 

>>Would not the following statement do the same?
 
>>CHAR(DIGITS(MONTH(CURRENT DATE)), 2)
 
>>Regards,

The result of your statement will always be '00', because Month() returns an
integer value.
If you convert an integer with digits the result consists of 10 characters.
Char takes the first 2 characters.
But the following statement will return the correct month:
 
DIGITS(DEC(MONTH(CURRENT DATE), 2, 0))
