I have a custom form that includes a numeric field where zero is a valid value. I'd like Portal to display a zero, but it only displays a blank even though the underlying table actually shows a value of zero. Is there a way to do this without using Design Studio? Thanks!

You can do it with some creative CSS and JavaScript, but it would be a modification to Portal.

OK - thanks guys. I'm not very exited about either approach. I guess it can just be a training issue on the new program. Thanks anyway!

If the custom form was designed in pgmdef, try using the Field Type edit value N1 or N2 in the screen definition Transaction Data section. The Workbench Manual says either of these codes will allow for the display of leading zeros.

Hi Steven - Yep, that's what I tried first. It seems to work in LID, but it doesn't appear to have any impact in Portal. I tried both N1 and N2 without success. Thanks for the thought, though.
