Except that I read for a required LEADING zero rather than the ending 1/100ths - DUH <-- Sami
(FORMAT(.#TIME,"HHMMSS.SS")) returns the 1/100ths (doesn't work without the decimal point) So, using several variables, leaving you to put them together: SET VAR vt1 TEXT = (FORMAT(.#TIME,"HHMMSS.SS")) SET VAR vLen INT = (SLEN(.vt1)) SET VAR vDot INT = (SLOC(.vt1,".")) SET VAR vt2 TEXT = (SGET(.vt1,2,.vLen-1)) SET VAR vt3 TEXT = (SGET(.vt1,(.vDot-1),1)+.vt2) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Albert Berry) wrote: >Believe it or not, this works. > >(IFEQ((SLEN(format(.vtime,"HHMMSS"))),5,"0"," ") + > + FORMAT(.vTIME,"HHMMSS")) > > >[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >> >>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.
