Regards,

What should I do so that PSM does not remove leading zeros in a numeric field, for example: 01234 | 0012 | .....

Thanks for the help.

Hi Luis,

The simplest workaround is to simply change the field type to text. Start by placing your variable in a text box. Then, go in the "Variables" tab, select your variable, and in the Properties, change the category to Text. (if you don't see the Variables, or the Properties windows, they are accessible from the Window menu)

By treating it as Text instead of Number, it will no longer remove the leading zeroes.

Hope that helps!

Regards,
Raphaël Lalonde Lefebvre
