Truncated zeroes in purchase spec in BOM on isometrics When I extract a drawing in Iso Manager, it adds a bill of materials which includes a purchase spec for some items. We set this up in the report.def file with a simple line saying "COLUMN = 16: C : PURCH_SPEC". The program sees this item as a number string so when our purchase spec ends in any number of zeroes, the program truncates the numbers, as in 72.2200 becomes 77.22. We can adjust the purchase spec to any number of digits by adding a number after the C in our report.def, such as "COLUMN = 16: C4 : PURCH_SPEC" so it uses four digits after the period. However, this makes items with no specific purchase spec number list as 0.0000 and we'd rather have that item left blank. I've also used an * instead of a number. This will make the purchase spec come out with any number of digits but it still truncates the 00 off the end. Is there a recommended setting or a way of making the purchase spec in this case not truncate the zeroes from the number but also not post the numbers as all zeroes when no purchase spec is found?
