Re: ADD Zeros to a number

Srinivas,

Take a moment and give us an example of what you want. Such as ...

If the user enters in 20081212 in your display file. What exactly do you
want to put in your 10 decimal field?

Is it...

0020081212

or

2008121200

?

Since English is not your native language, please take the time to fully
explain your situation. Please do not rush.

Hi Booth Martin,

Sorry English in not my native langauge
PREFIX is what i wanted irrespective of the number
and the field is numeric.

Regards,
Srinivas

I am guessing that English is not

Srinivas' first language? From the context of the question I
believed he wanted the zeros on the end of his 8/0 field when it is
put in the 10/0 field, hence the mult by 100,

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);
