[RBG7-L] - Re: Leading zeros

[Jan Barley]

Dennis, I had a similar situation occur when using a choose command to select a serial number.  It too would drop the leading zero in the text variable.  I spoke with Razzak about this back in March, and was told it was just a little known quirk about RBase.  However, I just retested my app, and I cannot make it drop the leading zero now!  I am using build 7.1.81.30927   Jan   ----- Original Message ----- From: Dennis Fleming To: RBG7-L Mailing List Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2005 8:58 PM Subject: [RBG7-L] - Leading zeros RB 7.1 In a form, a part number (15 char text) is added, and saved in a variable. When the user goes to another add form, the variable is used as the default part value. But, if the part number is something like "012345" it is saved correctly in the part form but appears as "12345" in the second add form. (i.e., an integer value would drop leading zeros.) I even set the variable to Text (again) in an "On Entry EEP" Anyone else see this? Dennis ***** Dennis Fleming IISCO http://www.TheBestCMMS.com Phone: 570 775-7593 Mobile: 570 351-5290
