Display 16 digit numbers without scientific notation

[redbull247]

Does anyone know how to display 16 digit numbers without scientific notation?

Now I have this:

dim rt = 4444555544446666
response.write (rt & "<br>")
rt = ((rt-1111333)^.5)/66
response.write (rt & "<br>")
rt = (( (rt*66)^2)+1111333 )
response.write (rt & "<br>")

and I get:

4444555544446666
1010113.63489608
4.44455554444667E+15

I need to diplay '4.44455554444667E+15' without scientific notation which is: '4444555544446666'

Any help greatly appreciated!

HOw did you solve this?

you need it to become a string, however getting it to the string could be an issue in itself... if you are willing to suffer some data loss you could get it to work, eg string = (rt / 100000000000000) & "00000000000000"

but this would sort of defeat the purpose so u need to figure out a way to get the rest.. however perhaps you could then do this

string1 = clng(rt / 100000000000000) & "0000000000000"
double1 = rt - double.parse(string1)
string2 = clng(rt / 100000000000000) & double1

that might work for you, let me know how it goes

actually clng rounds up, so ull need to make ur own function to do the cutting without rounding. unless ther is one already?

The Decimal type does not use scientific notation when converted to a string, e.g. for displaying on-screen.

Also, this:

dim rt = 4444555544446666

is late binding. I hope you don't do that in your real code.

Decimal displays full digits? that's alright :P

tell you what, it's little things like that you pickup from messing on forums
