Re: [DUG]: Dollar amounts in int fields

[John Bird]

I have a real basic Delphi 5 question, forgive me for asking such a silly one but
I cannot sort it out from the help

ATNMBR:string;
TNMBR:integer;

I am trying to get ATNMBR (string) to contain an integer using 3 characters, e.g.
1 -> 001
5 -> 005
10 -> 010
100 ->100

ATNMBR:=format('%3d',[TNMBR]); doesn't seem to work, produces ' 1'
ATNMBR:='001'; this works, unfortunately only caters
for the case when TNMBR = 1

The format help talks of a prec (precision) qualifier, but doesn't give an example of how to use it
