    Unable to store leading zeros in a DFF type number

    in Human Capital Management 1 comment


    Summary:

    Hi All,

    We have a requirement to upload the existing alternative numbers with leading zeros (example 00046) and auto generate incremental numbers upon new hire. To facilitate this, we've created a number-type Personal Attribute DFF and are using the following default SQL:

    SELECT MAX(ATTRIBUTE_NUMBER1) +1 FROM PER_PERSONS

    However, we are unable to store the leading zero numbers. Upon click ‘Ok’, the 00046 becomes 46 and storing in table as 46 as shown in the below screens. Please let us know if there are any application limitations regarding this issue and any suggestions.
