E1: DD: How to Convert a User Defined Code (UDC) to a Numeric Type (Doc ID 1309945.1)

Last updated on APRIL 18, 2025

Applies to:

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools - Version 8.93 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

We have thousands of UDCs set up and occasionally need to convert them from non-numeric to numeric types. If any values within a UDC table are created or modified after it is changed to Numeric type = Y, the code definition now displays with leading zeros, e.g. 0000303 instead of 303.  Why is this happening?
