Format zip codes in ods tagset

omega1983 — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 18:10:39 GMT

DEFINE BO_ZIP_CD / Display style(column)={tagattr="format:@" cellwidth=80pt just=center} "BILLING ZIP";

The above code is being used in a program using ods tagset. The output is an xml file. If the zip code is something like 30011 then I am fine. If the zip code is 300112222 I want to format the zipcode as 30111-2222.

If it is easier to address this in the dataset then let me know. I believe there is a way to address in the ods output though.

Hi:

I believe you will need to use CALL DEFINE in a COMPUTE block to specify a different format when you have a zip+4 versus just a zip code (based on the length of the data value).
