Hi, I have alphanuermic field, While move the value from A TO B field. The B field should contain leading zeros on left side.

Exmaples 1:
MOVE A TO B
A VALUE = 123
B VALUE = 000123

Example 2:
MOVE A TO B
A VALUE = AA12
B VALUE = 00AA12

Example 3:
MOVE A TO B
A VALUE = AA
B VALUE = 0000AA

Example :
MOVE A TO B
A VALUE = SPACES
B VALUE = 000000

Please advise how to handle. This is urgent.

Thanks,
Ravee

Suggest someone learn it is usually a bad design that calls for moving unedited alphanumeric values to a numeric field.

Values should be validated Before they are used.

Once you know the value is a valid numeric, it can easily be manipulated.

By the way - it is not urgent or you would not have posted in a forum where members respond as and when they feel like and do so for free. If you want "urgent" you should expect to pay for it but it would have been better and quicker to ask your colleagues.
