Hello,

You can't make a numeric field value blank because the initial type value is zero. Instead I suggest you to convert these field to character and then make these new fields blank.

Hi,

One very important thing we cannot make numeric field as blank is can be made initial i.e. 0.

So we have to make the field as character then we can make it blank by initializing it.

thanx.

Please use a CHAR field instead of desired length.

When you need to perform any operations, declare a run time integer variable and by type casting assign the char field to this variable.

This will solve the problem.

If you are using the WRITE statement, you can use the NO-ZERO option; with this option the entry which has zero value in the table is displayed as spaces.
