Formatting a variable
June 19, 2009 08:34AM
Hi All:

I need to build a string from numeric variables, but I need to format the string in the following way:

XXXX.YYYYYYYY

where XXXX is a number from 1 to 9999 and YYYYYYYY is a number from 1 to 99999999

What function should I use in order to complete leading 0s? I mean, if XXXX = 35, it should appear as 0035 and not just 35. ( In Clarion I use FORMAT(var,@n04) )

I was looking display masks but I think they are associated with controls, and not with variables.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks;
Michael

Hi Michael,

NumToString(XXXX,"04d")+"."+NumToString(YYYYYYYY,"08d")

is what you are looking for.
