Zeroes in a variable

[radhushankar]

Hi All

I have to update a field with a value of '001',i have assigned it like this.

Data: variabe(3) type c value'001'.

but when i am concatenating this field with another field these zeroe are getting deleted can any tell me how to get the leading zeros??

Thanks

Hi,

Use N instead of C.

Data: var1(3) type n value'001',
        var2 type string,
        res_var type string.
concatenate var1 var2 into res_var.

if you use type n declaration then leading zeroes will be padded automatically.

Data: variabe(3) type n value'001'.
