Zero Fill

This item property controls whether numeric data item should be stored with leading zeros or blanks.
For example, during data entry a numeric item with a length of 3 is encountered. A value of "92" was keyed. How will this value be stored in the data file?
  • If Zero Fill had been set to Yes, the value would appear as: "092"
  • If Zero Fill has been set to No, the value would appear as: " 92"
You can set this option for all items by clicking on ZeroFill Default 'Yes' from the Options menu.
