Leading Zero Filler Help Please...
Sep 20, 2005
MSSQL2000
Brain is overloaded and I'm just not getting this! Ugh! I need a field that will be exported/displayed to contain 10 characters, no spaces. The field I'm extracting is 8 characters and the numerical data (int) is any range up to that. So I have 35795 and need it to be 0000035795 but I could also have a 1057893 and will need it to be 0001057893. I tried various forms of this...
Select '00' + Right (chk_no, 8)
and it's just not correct.
Anyone have a suggestion on what I'm not seeing?
TIA!

Some columns in transaction tables are "mandatory fields" on the dataentry screens, and as a result tend to accumulate junk entries, wherethe user puts something, anything, in the window in order to get theGUI to accept the screen. This filler isn't as elaborate as LoremIpsum, but more likely characters from adjacent keys on the second rowof the keyboard, like "lkjkljl". This non-data gets in the way ofapplications that use the data. I wonder if there is a way torecognize and ignore this stuff -- I would assume it's a well-knownproblem, but I haven't found any literature on it. Any pointerswelcome. And sorry if this is off-topic for a DB group.Thanks,Jim Geissman

Not sure that's what I need to do but here goes: I need to create a temp table with data for a crosstab. (columns grouped by month)
The crosstab's not gonna show a missing month (example, date range is from January to June but there's no data for the month of January, so the 1rst column in the crosstab is Feb)
Is there a way to create 'dummy' dates in the select statement and insert them in my result set so missing months will show whether theres data or not?

I am not a DBA whatsoever so please bear with me ...
There is an existing SQL table with 3 fields that are to gather numeric data:
Name - Data Type - Length
1. TPID1 - int - 4
2. TPID2 - int - 4
3. BPIN - int - 4
If any of the 3 above are submitted with a zero in front (input = 01234), the zero will not show. (output = 1234)
I thought if I changed Data Type to nvarchar, the data would be read just like text and appear as entered. (I reviewed other table designs and nvarchar is the data type for other similar data.) Saved the table changes and still the leading zero does not show.
Any advice would be appreciated - thanks

Hi all,
Anyone know how to transfer data from 1 or 2 characters to 3 characters.
For example we have mpc_code in source as 1, 2, 3 then target need to be 001, 002 and 003.
Then if 12, 13 then change to 012, 013. Put zero as leading space.
Thanks.
Grace

I have some results data which looks like below
.00
.00
1.0
13.0
6.0
I need to push it into a table that accepts whole numbers. (none of the results actually will have a decimal like .05 or 1.5, all .00 will be 0)
What I need in the results is whole numbers, but if the results are 6.00 I need 06 to go into the table. I know a straight int convert will drop the decimals, and I could use a csae to set the .00 to 00, but what would be the best way to change the 6.00 to 06?
THanks

Hiya all,
I have a linked table between SQL and BTrieve.
I have a column that returns 1 ,2 ,10 etc.
In Btrieve the datatype is numeric and 3 digits long.
But in SQL I want 001 , 002 ,010.
Anyone got some code to programatically add 00 if 1,2,3
or add o if 10,11 or add none if 100,101
I also tried casting as in CAST(table.ID AS NUMERIC(3,0)) as Del_ID,
but SQL still returns 1,2,10 and not 001,002,010

Hi All,
I want to add a leading zero to a field based on a param that I create on the fly in my stored proc. I have a @month which is created from my datetime param @date.
@Month needs to be char(2) but if the month is inputted as '04' I get '4 ' in the table (note the space after 4)
How can I add a leading zero to this field?
Set @Year = right('0',1)year(@Date) is spitting it's toys out.
Thanks,
Brett

Hi Folks,
I have a situation where I need to display an integer with leading zeros, with a defined length.
Example, 43 appears as 00043 when the length is 5 and 000043 when the length
is 6.
I tried using "=Format(Fields!DirID.Value.ToString)" with different variations to no avail.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Regards

I have an SSIS routine which uses a simple SQL select statement from a SQL Server 2005 database and then goes to a Flat File destination. The field (dischstatuscode) is a nvarchar(50) and it may contain data with leading zeros.
Code Snippet
Select DischStatusCode
from dbo.pm
...which returns:
01
23
37
05
04
41
When I open up the csv file produced by the SSIS routine, I see the following:
1
23
37
5
4
41
How can I have it retain leading zeros?

I use the following code to fill the missing leading zero from datepart sys function. Is there another way simple to get the leading zero if month < 10 and/or if day < 9?
-D
--++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
declare @currentYYYYMMDD char(8)
declare @currentYYYY char(4), @currentMM varchar(2), @currentDD varchar(2)
select @currentYYYY = cast(datepart(yyyy, getdate()) as char(4))
select @currentMM = cast(datepart(mm, getdate()) as varchar(2))
select @currentDD = cast(datepart(dd, getdate()) as varchar(2))
print '@currentYYYY: ' + @currentYYYY + ' @currentMM:' + @currentMM + ' @currentDD:' + @currentDD
select @currentMM = case when @currentMM < 10 then '0' + @currentMM
else @currentMM end
select @currentDD = case when @currentDD < 10 then '0' + @currentDD
else @currentDD end
print '@currentYYYY: ' + @currentYYYY + ' @currentMM:' + @currentMM + ' @currentDD:' + @currentDD

I'm looking for a string function (or any other quick way) for adding a leading zero to make a string two characters long. For example, if the input is '12' the result will be '12' but if the input is '1', the result will be '01'.
It's actually about making a month number two characters long but I've understood there is no way to make Datediff() to fix it for me.
I thought there might be a string function for this, like there is in many programming languages, but I can't find anything in BOL. I want to keep it simple, because it will be used in a Select and a Group By for aggregating data based on time intervals (year + month).
And, I assume I can't make Datepart() to return year + month directly, only one of the parts at a time.

I am creating a view which involved concatenation of 2 int columns.
The data in the columns look like
Column 1 Column 2
1234 1
12345 11
I am trying to get the following output
001234001
012345011
So the first column should have zeros padded to the front to make 6 numbers, the second column should be 3 numbers long with zeros in front. So when added together it is 9 numbers long.

Hi All,
I have a table called Table1 which has a field called ProductID (nvarchar type). The records are numeric, and each record may have different length of characters. The maximum length of character is 13. The records are like this
ProductID
7830005602
7378
64975259599
1380010072
As you can see it has records of different length.
In my SELECT a) first I want to make the ProductID length of 13 characters by adding leading zero's, if lenght of characters is already 13 then I will not add any leading zeros. b) Once all records have a length of 13 character then I want to put a dash "-" after first 8 characters. This way the final lenght of characters would be 14. I want to do a) & b) in one single SELECT statement.
So my final output for above example would be,
00078300-05602
00000000-07378
00649752-59599
00013800-10072
Any quick help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Zee
