write 0 into table control

Former Member — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 18:35:56 GMT

Hi guys:

I have several columns which are type "DEC". When I try to assign 0(zero) to one of this columns , the table controls delete this number and put "space". The number zero is a data so when I put zero I need save zero and not "space".

I hope someone can help me.

Thanks.

Javier.

PS: I need a FM to convert char to decimal. Someone knows anyone?

For an input field of type DEC, that is the normal behavior, it will show as space if it is zero(0), but rest assured that it is being saved in the database table as 0 and not space. If you set the field to output, and not input, you can see that it will show as 0 and not space. If your require that the field is to show 0 even when it is ready for input, then you must use a character based field instead of the numeric DEC type field.
