HI.
Please help me to find a function what would remove a blank data in a field(assuming that data looks like this ' 10.70') I need to dissplay only 10.70. I'm creating a WF page where use following logic:
TABLE FILE WFAIMS
PRINT
Fuel_Charge
ON TABLE SAVE AS JAPAN FORMAT ALPHA
END
-*
-RUN
-READ JAPAN &FC.A15.

table's structure has following format FUEL_CHG P14.2

On HTML page I'm getting only one digit of the value '1' and I need to display 10.70.
Looks like the data in a table stored as
| 10.70|

Please advise !

When you do your SAVE, what does the browser say that the length of the field is?

Increase the variable length and check,

eg: -READ JAPAN &FC.A30.

It worked for me sometime ago.

ON TABLE SAVE AS JAPAN FORMAT ALPHA

This the SAVE Ginny is talking about.

The SAVE command tells you the format of the file and the individual fields.

e.g.

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
COUNTRY CAR MODEL SALES
ON TABLE SAVE AS H001
END


Produces this:

 0 NUMBER OF RECORDS IN TABLE=       18  LINES=     18
 ALPHANUMERIC RECORD NAMED  H001
 FIELDNAME                         ALIAS         FORMAT        LENGTH
 COUNTRY                           COUNTRY       A10            10
 CAR                               CARS          A16            16
 MODEL                             MODEL         A24            24
 SALES                             UNITS         I6              6
 TOTAL

check out FTOA or PTOA
your data element is stored as packed decimal
so the position of the decimal point is an artefact of the display, not contained in the field content itself.
FTOA is 'floating point to alpha'
PTOA is 'packed to alpha'
