I've got a batch number that I want to display. In the oracle database it is a number (8), for example in PDF it displays as 223344 while in APDF it displays as 223,344. How do I get rid of the comma?

APDF is Flex embedded in PDF so it is subject to how Flex works. Flex uses the locale or Regional Settings for the machine which is to have a comma for every 3 digits. If you modify the Regional Settings, you should be able to get what you want, however, Regional Settings affects more than Flex of course.

Could you use the numeric conversion functions FTOA or PTOA to convert the number to alpha? This avoids fooling around with regional settings.

Converting it to a character field is not an option as it is used as a drilldown parameter.

I tried changing my regional setting, but it didn't seem to make a difference.

Well Lauri, that is not a real good reason
you can both use the original field and the converted format field in the same report.
Make the original invisible but use it to drill down.

I know that can work Frank, but I guess I was hoping for a patch or something along those lines so I don't have to mess with code on 50+ reports.

Thanks for the suggestion.
