Hi All,

From DB i am getting 4 digit string( 2008). Using that i have to display as 08 - 09

In that i used RIGHT function. it is diplayed as 08 - 9.

when i take 2 character from right '08' is coming. Then i converted to number and added 1 to the year

But it become 9 instead of 09.

    Hi Saravana,

    You can format date in Crystal report design as per your requirement.

    Right click on Feild in CR design ->Format field.

    Regards,

    Hi,

    Shweta's answer is valid when you retrieve a date field from the database, as you have specified that you are getting a four digit string, you should use this formula.

    if length(totext(tonumber(right('2008',2))+1)) = 4

    then

    right('2008',2)'-0'left(totext(tonumber(right('2008',2))+1),1)

    else

    right('2008',2)'-'left(totext(tonumber(right('2008',2))+1),2)

    hope this helps!!!

    Thanks
