Adding Thousand/lakh/etc separator in a character variable

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a character varialbe which holds value as '12345.67'. Its ok but i want thousand / lakh ..etc separator to appear whenever it is required.

As in this case it should hold '12,345.67'.

So, how can i do this ?

the format how amounts or dates are displayed can be customized for each user in the personnel settings.

In your report you simply WRITE yor typed variables to a CHAR variable and it will appear as defined.

Hi John,

first move the character field to a numeric field of type, i.e. WRBTR, then write bach <numfield> to <character field>. If the char field is wide enough, the thousand separators will be added automatically according to user settings format.

Use WRITE statement to move the varianle from amount variable to char variable.
