Decimal to String
Posted: Thu Feb 05, 2015 06:45 PM

Hello,

This seems to be a really easy problem to solve but I cannot think of the function to handle.

I have a decimal that I want to convert to a string, for example. I want to pull the .2 from variable nVal with value of 1.2 and save as .2 not .200. I am using if I were using STR(nVal,12,3) and was wondering if there is a better solution.

Darrell,

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

FUNCTION MAIN()

    LOCAL nVal := 1.2

    LOCAL cVal

    nVal = nVal - INT( nVal )

    ? nVal

    cVal = LTRIM( STR( nVal ) )

    ? cVal

    RETURN NIL

Or maybe:

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

FUNCTION MAIN()

    LOCAL nVal := 1.2

    LOCAL cVal := STR( nVal )

    cVal = SUBSTR( cVal, AT( ".", cVal ) )

    ? cVal

    RETURN NIL
