I have one doubt that is needed clarification.I have declared an item as number and without padding without mentioning the minimum and maximum size and properties remains the same for both input and output card but when i tried to map a number to number field the following anomalous behavior i have observed.

For example if the input number value is eg----0932
the output number value is ----932
if the input number value is eg----00000000000000000000000000
the output number value is ----0
based on the above values can i know the reason why the value zero is omitted in (0932) and for series of zeros we are getting one zero as output rather than getting entire zeros
what step that are needed to be carried out to obtain original value lkr(0932---0932)
Can anybody help me over it.

Hi hadoop,

It is the general behaviour of NUMBER item, since you are validating number "0932" item, it doesn't have any meaning by putting '0' infront of any number, so it returns the numbers after zero,

And also it will included when you are validating that item as a text field.

If u want to achieve your need.. Just Change the feild property pad

to "yes" for the corresponding NUMBER field... so that you will get the

Zeros as u expected in the front of the number field.

Ex: 0932 -->0932

Thanks,

Arun.
