RE: [sqr-users] Number to Character

This code comes directly from a flat file I am creating:

Let $GPA = EDIT((&HS.EXT_GPA*100),'0000')

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.
