Our Requirement is to achieve padding with '0' for Number field and '#' to Varchar field: We have a TextField of width=100. When the report is generated, dynamically data is populated into that field. Let the data populated length be 20. We have right aligned the textfield. Now the problem is we want to prepend 100-20= 80 Zeros' to the data. How we can achieve the same using Jasper or Java programming? Thanks -Deepak Dewangan
