Re: Left justify numeric field


Do you have a reason that you prefer %trim(%editc(field:'N')) over %char()? %char seems a lot simpler and more elegant to me.... but maybe there's something else to edit code N that I'm missing...

and the compiler likes:

wField = %trim(%editc(nField: 'N'));

(I just happen to prefer the left-side minus sign.)

All,
I have a numeric field 0070000123 that I need to remove the leading zeros
and left justify for printing.

Does anyone have a simple routine to do this?

Thanks,
