Deleting zeros in a type P variable

[Former Member]

Hello, i have a variable.

price like sflight-price

This variable is type P and it has a lenght= 8, output lenght = 20.

An example of the field contents is 513.69.

When i try to put this variable in a report, this blank spaces move my column

how i can supress that blanks. I read about the CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT function, but my variable is type p, and the fuction accepts a character type variable as input, when i try to pass the value to a type n variable, the program fails.

thanks
