Hello Community,

I would like to create a sequence with leading zeros. For example 0000001 instead of 1.

Is that possible?

Kind regards,
Holger

  Well, sequences in Clover are numbers, what you are describing is a string representation. You might use function like this to format your sequence number to format you described:
  
  

  function string formatNum(integer num){
  	string fmstr=toString(num);
  	return left("00000000",8-length(fmstr))+fmstr;
  }

  
  
  Usage:

  
  formatNum(3);
  formatNum(3333);
  formatNum(123456);

  
  
  Hope it helps.
