this is something that i have come across while doing some development .
my requirement was to format integer database column with leading zeroes with Crystal Report.
i have a dataset called OrderDetails and i am formatting it to have 10 digits where the leading digits will be filled with zeroes. e.g. 21 will be 0000000021
this is how i did it.
in crystal report you have to write a function . (write click formula field then select new)
ReplicateString ("0",10-Length(cstr ({OrderDetails.Id},0,""))) +cstr({OrderDetails.Id},0,"")simple like this
P.S remember save,press x+2 button to validate and add this to your report lol ...!!!!
