| I am trying to count records and show the output as a 6 character output with leading zeros and no decimal. I though this would work, but it doesn’tstr(count(d.uprtrxam), 7, 0), I get “ 111”Then I need to to a 19,5 numeric field an select it giving a 17,2 output with leading zeros. I think I am allmost there, but not quite. Any help would be appriciated. Thank Youstr(sum(d.uprtrxam), 17, 2), I get “ 4383.97” |

| It might pay to create a function for this so you can use it from anywhere.The psuedocode would be:- Convert the number to a string (using CONVERT if you like but it should implicitly convert)- Find the length of the new string- Create a string with the number of zeroes (required length-length of new string) and append the new string onto it.Hope this makes sense. |
