Hi all,
I have a character ID variable like this
001
002
003
L8982
L8983
L8984
I want to add a leading zero only to those IDs whose first number is also number. In other words, I want
0001
0002
0003
L8982
L8983
L8984
Could anyone write a sample code for me to help me solve this problem?
Any help is appreciated.
Like this?
if input(ID,?? 32.) and length(ID)=3 then ID='0'||ID;

This code works very well! Thank you very much!
