How QV distinct between '0' and '00'

Fri, 30 Aug 2013 15:52:46 GMT

Hi to everybody,

I have a big problem loading files with my QV version 10.00:

when I load a file that contain in the same field in a record '0' in another one '00', Qv sets the format equal to the first.

So if the first is '0' all the next records that contain '00' or '000' become '0'; instead if the first is '00', all the other become '00'.

How can I solve this issue?

Thanks in advance

Use TEXT() function to translate you field at script level

Thanks to Clever Anjos,

Now I can't use Text() into a "SQL select" with ODBC, because the DB2 server don't recognizes the function, but I think that is possible to solve the problem making a load after the SQL select, that it's all right!

Thanks, see you soon. PG

LOAD

text(yourfield) as youfield;

SQL SELECT
