hi guys,
i need to fill a field with left 0s.
example.
data: num(10).
data: len type p,
data: n type n.
num = '12345'. " and i want '0000012345'
describe field num into len.
n = 10 - len.
shift num right by n places.
do n times.
replace space with '0' into num
enddo.
this will work, my problem is that describe field always give 10, and i need exactly the number of positions filled.
any ideas?
tks in advance
