best way to add + sign infront of a number

Post by changming »

is there any other way to add the + sign in front of a positive number? I don't like to use string function to do that.

Only by changing the specification in the NUMERIC category of your locale.

Thanks, Ray, for giving me the direction. But I still need to know more details about that. I have tried diffrent setting/options on the Numeric decimal data type for 1 hour. I still could not get what I expected.

Beware that any such change is a global change. Please explain what you have tried so far, so as to eliminate unnecessary guesswork on our part.
