RE: Where did 0 go?

Neil, you are correct, I asked for a code of the function and ... it returned 
NUMBER, so conversion took place.

@Nigel
Sorry, I was too quick to reply and provided misleading info.

After changing number to varchar2, we get zero back.

Thanks,

if table.colum%type is in fact a varchar2 like you say then something inside of 
func_t is likely treating it as a number.  can we see the relevant parts of 
funct_t?

Hi all,
I have a potentially silly question and need your help.

Procedure abc is
vDept     table.column%type;  <====== varchar2(80)
 Begin     ........
                vDept := func_t(par1, par2);
                ......
                ......
End;

Function returns 057, however when it gets assigned to vDept it turns into 57.
How do I preserver zero?

Thanks,
