RE: ADD Zeros to a number






Wouldn't that add two zeros to the right side?

Doesn't prefix mean left side?

Would multiply by 100 work for you?

Srinivas,

Could you explain a little more please? I'm not sure I understand what
you are trying to do. You have a screen field that's 8,0 and you said
regardless of whatever is placed into the field you want to prefix it
with
two zeroes. Is that on the front end or the back end? If a user puts
eight 9's, (i.e.99999999), into the screen field are you going to
strip
out two 9's making the number display as 00999999, or add it into a
10,0
field in the rpg as 0099999999?
If it's the latter than like Charles said that wouldn't make any sense
since the two numbers are identical. If it's the former you can
convert
to character and put the two leading zeroes in that way.

alpha8 = '00' + %subst(%char(ScreenField):3); //only takes the last 6
digits
numeric8 = %dec(alpha8:8:0);
