Re: AW: Putting Leading Zeros in Sql ?

Hi Carel,

Hausser option is more better, because I need just One Leading Zero, while
DIGITS function will put 10 leading zeros behind month.

Thanks to all of you.

Best Regards,

Luqman

Would not the following statement do the same?

CHAR(DIGITS(MONTH(CURRENT DATE)),2)
