RE: [DUG]: Formating integer

[John Bird]

Thanks folks, both of the suggestions below worked. Why the . is in front of the 3 mystifies me - my help says its the other way around, and I never thought to apply the formatfloat function to an Integer. So Delphi is mainly but not all intuitive!

You need 3 after the decimal point try
format('%.3d',[TNMBR])

ATNMBR = FormatFloat("000", TNMBR);
