Format number to string

sabzam

Dear all,

I have got number 22 and I need to convert it into text as 22.00 The issue is that it is being converted to 22 only. Is it possible to create it through format or do I need to manually edit the resulting text?

Yes it is possible, using the FORMAT command, and building your own format string. How to do this is in the C/SIDE Reference Guide, but it's hidden in there. Try searching around in there, see if you can find it. There's a page in there that covers how to build format string for all different data types.

Value (Decimal) := 22;
Result (Text)
Result := format(Value,0,'<Integer><Decimals,3>'); -> 22,00
