Not knowing too much about your report, I would give this a shot:
StringVar IsParcelNumber := Picture({vRealEstateTaxBill.Parcel}, {?lsParcelFormat});
IsParcelNumber
I don't know what your {?lsParcelFormat}
looks like, but I would suggest if the above formula doesn't work to "spell" out the picture format (i.e. "(xxx) xxx-xxxx"). And you know that the WhileReadingRecords
will apply the formula while reading the records. So if at all, you should try WhilePrintingRecords
, but I would leave it out alltogether.
