RE: ADD Zeros to a number

Like Booth said, you don't need to do anything when moving from a smaller numeric field to a larger field. If you want to display leading zeros, that's where edit codes come into play.

Hi Every one,

  Please dont get confuse with my question
  my question is simple

  I will give an example :
  I have a numeric field say X of lenght 8 and the value is  12345678
  Now i have another Numeric filed of lengh 10 say Y
  now before moving the value into Y
  I wanted to prefix 00 to that number (.ie 0012345678)
  and then move to Y field.

  Regards,
  Srinivas

  Then just do an eval from 8/0 to 10/0. You won;t see the leading zeros
but they are there. If you want to see them you need an edit code like 'X'.



You said you are trying to validate dates? Is this process the way you
want to do it? It sounds very long and hard to me.

Are you using RPG or CL?
