  If all you have to do is add 2 zeros to the end then just do this.
 
   set var vSTime Time  = 13:23:01 
   set time format HHMMSS
   set var vTTIme Text = ((ctxt(.vSTime)) + '00')
   set time format HH:MM:SS

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Formatting a value




I'm trying to pad a variable with zero's on the end for an EDI
application in 
RBWin 6.5++ and I'm missing something on the fomat function. The
variable 
starts as a time variable: 

var vSTime Time  = 13:23:01 
set time format HHMMSS 
set vat vTTIme Text = .vSTime 
set time format HH:MM:SS 

Show var vTTime 
132301 
Now the kicker. I need var vTTime to be converted to an 8 character
string, 
to represent hundredths of a second, 
i.e. 13230100 

I keep trying the Format function, but I'm missing SOMETHING in the
format 
command. Anyone got a string conversion that will work consistantly? 

TIA
