I noticed a recent post on the LANSA2 Yahoo Group<\/a> that was requesting the best method of scrubbing a user entered phone number to format it in a certain way.<\/p>\n

There were no LANSA centric solutions given, and some of the other solutions may have worked just fine, but as this was a LANSA forum, I thought I would throw a LANSA solution in.<\/p>\n

I could not find any real elegant solution in LANSA (like regex), but have created a small routine which would scan the input string remove all non-numeric characters and reformat based on a format passed in from another input string.<\/p>\n

Currently this only handles 10 and 14 digit phone numbers. (14 has the country code in front. E.g. 011 for North America). I will create a similar routine another time for credit card formatting.<\/p>\n

Simply put this method routine in your RDMLX code, and call it using the following statement(s). The method “FormatPhoneNumber” takes 2 parameters. 1) The input string to be formatted and 2) the format that will be used with an &# for each part of the phone number.<\/p>\n

The first call above handles 14 digit phone and the second handles 10 digit phone numbers.<\/p>\n

The code is shown below, and can be downloaded here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
