Re: Output 125.56 as 00012556 in REXX

I know this is an RPG forum but I'm just taking a chance in case some of you are experienced in REXX. I need the output of a numeric variable to be with the leading zeroes & without the decimal. Anyone have any ideas.

If I use Amt = Right(125.56,8,'0') it displays 00125.56
If I use Amt = Right(Format(125.56*100,8,0),8,'0') it displays bbb12556

Any suggestions for a good REXX forum

Ewart:

I'd say that the Midrange-L list is the forum of choice here. There are also various REXX newsgroups available.

However, you might want to look at the problem from a slightly different direction --

( 125.56 / 1000000 ) should result in .00012556

By moving the decimal point to the _left_ instead of the right, you can generate strings of digits with however many leading zeros you need. Then you only need to cut off the leading decimal point.
