Re: Looking for an SQL to append leading zeros

>> select digits(FIELD2) from FILE where FIELD1 IN ('NYC1','NYC2')


This  does nt work for me.
I want to update FIELD2 with leading 
> zeroes wherever it finds a value less than 10 digits.
It sounds like FIELD2 is already a numeric field. If that's the case, then it is already stored with leading zeroes. Perhaps you're really looking for a way to _present_ the value of FIELD2, so that the presentation includes leading zeroes?
What are you using to see the value of FIELD2? Debug? A display file? A report? DSPPFM? UPDDTA?
