Hi Anu,

You have to move this to a character field and use the following sytax.

a = '123456789'.

b = a+2(3).

Now value of 'b' is 345.

The index starts from zero. i.e. the digit '1' is at position zero.

Thanks

what is the data type u r using?

if u r using type n then u can use sub-field access

like...

data n1(5) type n.

...

....

write 😕 n1+0(2).

however u cannot do the same for type p or f . for these u need to convert to a character type and then use sub-field access...

what is the scenario? u want to restrict only the decimal places or what?

rgds,

PJ

I want to pad few digits with 0 and output only few digits.all are chacrater fileds.

[athavanraja]

<i>padding few digits with 0</i>

data: result(100) .

concatenate '0' '1' '2' '3' into result .

<i>output only few digits?</i>

write result to result left deleting leading '0' .

is this what you are looking for?

can you be little more clear.

for character types use as follows to print only a few digits..

write 😕 fld+0(2)

which means write 2 characters starting from the beginning...specify the position and number of characters as u desire....

padding with 0s...

use type n....

data num1(10) type n.

write 😕 num1. " this gives 0000000000

num1 = 345. "u can assign ur character field here

write 😕 num1. " this gives 0000000345

does that help?

DATA NAME(10) VALUE '1234'.

DO 5 Times.

CONCATENATE '0' NAME INTO NAME.

ENDDO

WRITE 😕 NAME.

This will give output as 0000012234.

Change 5 times to desired value.

Cheers
