Re: ADD Zeros to a number

Hi Srinivas
I think that this is still confusing people
Prefix means at the beginning of the file.
Could you post some examples of what can be input, with what you want to be
displayed, using a number (at least 10) different (from small numbers to
large) numbers.

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?

Hi DennisRootes,

to prefix

two zeors to it.

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);
