Eric,
Thanks! I was lookinng for a better way to do this. I'm sort of used to
having the function built into the language, and being a stranger to
Javascript I have to trace down every function call I see in TW or look it
up on the web to determine whether it's built-in or declared locally. At
first glance I assumed that "zeroPad" was part of the language, just as I
did with "formaString".
PL/SQL is basically Ada in syntax with SQL built in, much more verbose and
narrative-like (which was, of course, a goal of SQL way back when), and I
know that shows in my code. Once I fully "internalize" this it will probably
help me refactor the other string handling going on as well.
