Subject: [sqr-users] Number to Character


Hi folks,

Normally, this would be the sort of thing I would like to play with until I
got it working, but I am pressed for time and turning to the tremendous
knowledge base on this list :-)

I have a Number(25) field on a table (Oracle) that I know will never contain
more than three significant digits (i.e. 999) and I need to get it into a 3
character field on a flatfile ... i.e. if the column contains 7, I need to
put 007 in the flatfile field, if it contains 29, I need 029 to be in the
flatfile field, 0 needs to be 000, 567 needs to be 567, etc.

Anything I've tried with edits, to_char's, pads and trims isn't working ...
or at least I am not hitting the right combination.

Thanks in advance.
