How Do I Format a Value Based on a Given Format?
If you need to format a value based on a given format, for example, on Person ID Number, if you select ID Type as SSN (999-99-9999), you can always format the Person ID Number before committing it to the server.
To do so, you can call the formatValue javascript function.
- In the user exit file of the tab page include the following lines:
</SCRIPT> <SCRIPT src="/zz/formatValue/formatValue.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT>
- Now, you can start using the function to format a value. To use this function, you need to pass in both the value and the format into the function.
var phFormat = myData.getValue(pureListName + 'PHONE_TYPE_FORMAT'); if (pureFieldName == 'PHONE') { updateField(pureListName + 'PHONE' , formatValue(myData.getValue(pureListName + 'PHONE'), phFormat)); }
