+AD4- The function you're looking for here is 'sprintf'. It takes the general +AD4- form: +AD4- +AD4- sprintf(string1, +ACIAJQ-d+ACI-, Hours)+ADs- +AD4- +AD4- See your docs for details on additional formatting options. It 'prints' the +AD4- value to the string and has the same options as 'printf'. Hmmm. CCS doesn't seem to recognize sprintf. Anybody got any code for this one? -- Lawrence -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
