EDIT MASK

Former Member — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 05:25:25 GMT

Hi,

I am using EDIT MASK to displayt he amount as per the data which I am ex[pecting

Write V1 to V2 using edit mask '1.23,456'

But it is not converting the data to the edit mask...

its just displaying the value as what I am giving in the editmask..

for example:

V1 is 1000.00

Write V1 to V2 using edit mask '1.23,456'

I want to display as 1.00,000

Instead, it is displaying '1.23,456'

SET COUNTRY 'DE'. "Now this would give the number format

"as you expected

write statement.

SET COUNTRY SPACE.

Thanks and regards,

Hi,

U can use SET COUNTRY as well as the other code as posted by madhavi...I.e Using Edit Mask...

But remeber one thing..

When u use SET COUNTRY..DNT 4get to set space again..

SInce it applies to all currency format throughout ur program.

Hi,

First split the value at ',' and concatenate and save it.

Finally use edit mask.

var1 = 1,904,80

split var1 at ',' into s1 s2 s3.

concatenate s1 s2 s3 into var2.

write: var2 using edit mask '_,__.___'.

Reward,if useful.

Thanks,
