Handling no of decimal points when writing Table records to a text file

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Venkatdax0 364

Hello all,

I need to control the no of decimal points of a real field when we are exporting the records  from table to a text file. For which i have created an Real EDT with no  of decimal points to 2.

When we open the table, the records are displayed with 2 decimal points. However when the records are exported to text file, the Real field is showing more than 2 decimal points.

Can you please help me in handling the decimal place when we export the records to a text file.

Thank you.

Venkat

    How do you export? Do you have some code that does it?

    It would be great if you could share your code since otherwise it's very difficult for us to know what's wrong with it.

    Below is the code which am using to write the data from table to Text file, where for the AccountAmountCr field i have created an EDT.

    iOWrite = new TextIo(fileName,#IO_Write);

    iOWrite.outFieldDelimiter(',');

    while select * from RWFileTmp            

           {

               if(firstWrite)

               {

                   iOWrite.writeExp(recordHeaderLine);

                   firstWrite = false;

               }

               recordWrite =[RWFileTmp.LineIdentifier,RWFileTmp.MainAccount,RWFileTmp.Description,RWFileTmp.AccountingAmountCr];

               iOWrite.writeExp(recordWrite);

           }
