I want to know if there is a way to convert a number in char

I want to convert 2 in "2".




Thank you for your futur help!!!!!

Bruno,

Use the STRING function:

DEFINE VARIABLE var1 AS INTEGER NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE var2 AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.

ASSIGN
var1 = 2
var2 = STRING(var1).

var2 will then contain the value "2".

Hope this helps.

A high-tech solution

DEFINE VARIABLE var1 AS INTEGER NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE var2 AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.

ASSIGN
var1 = 2
var2 = chr(var1 + 48).

:awink: Sorry, could not help myself.....

You're welcome, Bruno.

Nice one Chris - But I prefer to follow the "kiss" principle myself...

I'd characterize Bruno's solution (chr(var1 + 48) ) as low-tech. It's the STRING function that's high tech.

The CHR solution only works, of course, under unstated assumptions about the contents of var1 (integers from 0 to 9) and language (single byte ASCII). But since it's likely to cause future problems, it's probably a good choice in this time of high unemployment in the IT sector.
