I am using a -READ. I'm reading a value of '11,334', when I display the read &Variable in my footer the comma is not being read '11334' appears. How can I convert this &Variable to include the comma. I don't see any functions in the manual that cover this. I did find an 'ATODBL' function, but it is not a Dialogue Manager function. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Nope, DIY:

  
-SET &TEST_LEN  = ARGLEN(9, '&VARIABLE.EVAL', I3);
-SET &TEST_VAL  = IF &TEST_LEN LE 3 THEN &&VARIABLE ELSE
-                 IF &TEST_LEN FROM 4 TO 6 THEN EDIT(&VARIABLE,'999,999')
-                  ELSE EDIT(&VARIABLE,'999,999,999');

Nice but here is a little more context on the idea.

-SET &VARIABLE = 222111000;


-SET &TEST_LEN = ARGLEN(9, '&VARIABLE.EVAL', I3);
-SET &TEST_VAL = IF &TEST_LEN LE 3 THEN &VARIABLE
- ELSE IF &TEST_LEN EQ 4 THEN EDIT(&VARIABLE,'9,999')
- ELSE IF &TEST_LEN EQ 5 THEN EDIT(&VARIABLE,'99,999')
- ELSE IF &TEST_LEN EQ 6 THEN EDIT(&VARIABLE,'999,999')
- ELSE IF &TEST_LEN EQ 7 THEN EDIT(&VARIABLE,'9,999,999')
- ELSE IF &TEST_LEN EQ 8 THEN EDIT(&VARIABLE,'99,999,999')
- ELSE IF &TEST_LEN EQ 9 THEN EDIT(&VARIABLE,'999,999,999')
- ELSE EDIT(&VARIABLE,'999,999,999');

-SET &VARIABLE = '$'| &TEST_VAL;

-TYPE &VARIABLE

Thank you guys so much, You all are the best. It does take a village. Don I had to add a trim function but I got it working. See Below:


-SET &TRMCASE = TRIM('L', '&VARIABLE.EVAL', 11, ' ', 11, 'A9');
-SET &TEST_LEN = ARGLEN(9, '&TRMCASE.EVAL', I3);
-SET &TEST_VAL = IF &TEST_LEN LE 3 THEN &TRMCASE
- ELSE IF &TEST_LEN EQ 4 THEN EDIT(&TRMCASE,'9,999')
- ELSE IF &TEST_LEN EQ 5 THEN EDIT(&TRMCASE,'99,999')
- ELSE IF &TEST_LEN EQ 6 THEN EDIT(&TRMCASE,'999,999')
- ELSE IF &TEST_LEN EQ 7 THEN EDIT(&TRMCASE,'9,999,999')
- ELSE IF &TEST_LEN EQ 8 THEN EDIT(&TRMCASE,'99,999,999')
- ELSE IF &TEST_LEN EQ 9 THEN EDIT(&TRMCASE,'999,999,999')
- ELSE EDIT(&TRMCASE,'999,999,999');

It looks like the FPRINT function does this:

-SET &Integer = ' 1234567' ;
-SET &Integer = FPRINT(&Integer, 'P12C', 'A15');
-TYPE Integer = &Integer
