Getting zero to display as the first character

[TheTonyJackson]

I know this should be simple, but I'm trying to get a zero to display as the first character in a field when necessary.  For example last 4 of SSN.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Tony,

like to make a field zero as the starting character.

please give a clear example.

Thanks,

Debadas

Hi,

You can achieve this in the Patterns dialog. Select the object and go to the Object > Field palette. There you can click the Patterns button and edit the Display Pattern.

For example, this would display a number without leading zeros: 12

num{zzz9}

Whereas if you use 9 it will display leading zeros: 0012

num{9999}

Hope that helps,

Niall

Sorry Debadas about the lack of clarity.
