I've got a cursor that has numeric and character fields. The program
inserts values into the numeric field, and the character fields DEFAULT
value settings transform the numbers into their character equivalents.
I had been using something like this:
CREATE CURSOR curReport(nValue n(10,2), cValue c(10) DEFAULT
ALLTRIM(STR(nValue,10,liDecimals)))
...where liDecimals is a value set at run time depending on the amount
of decimal places I need for that record insert. In my testing I know
that TRANSFORM would be great like this:
TRANSFORM(nValue,'999,999.99')
...but sometimes I don't want the character representation to have the
same number of decimal positions. My plan B is to create some rigged
UDF whereby I pass the value and the number of decimals places I want
and it parses/builds it for me, but that seems kludgey. Is there a way
to get the transform to behave variably like I had in my initial DEFAULT
value with ALLTRIM(STR(..)) without a UDF ??
Thanks, and Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!
