Try this
  
DEFINE FILE PERIOD 
X_BANK_NR/A18 = EDIT(OTLT_ACCT_ID);
X_BK_NR/A7 = EDIT(X_BANK_NR,'9999999$$$$') ;

Hi,

Is OTLT_ACCT_ID Float value?
You may need to use the function FTOA
FTOA(number, '(format)', outfield)

See if that helps.

Best Regards,

will only work if OTLT_ACCT_ID is an integer, which it probably is not, since you can't have an integer of 18 characters. As Jimmy suggests, use FTOA to convert a numeric field to alpha.

I would suggest using PTOA, as FTOA has a limit of 6 digits.

Where did this come from Waz?

As far as I am aware FTOA (and EDIT) handle values up to 2147483647.

From the Manual:

quote:

The FTOA function converts a number up to 16 digits long from numeric format to alphanumeric format. It retains the decimal positions of a number and right-justifies it with leading spaces. You can also add edit options to a number converted by FTOA.


Waz didn't have his glasses on and missed the 1 in front of the 6. Cool

I think that its because I got a new pair of glasses, I can see clearly now, and I'm not used to it. Big Grin
