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?

Hi Booth,

My Number is 12345678

Here is a number:

12345678

Which do you want:

0012345678 (prefix)

or

12345678900 (suffix)

??

Hi Booth Martin,

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

Booth Martin wrote:
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,

Its in back, on the front end side he will enter 8 digits, and i want



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);
