I need help, for 2 days now I have been trying to find the function in Livecycle that will make zero values invisible. I have found that I can toggle a value to "Allow Zeros" from the Field Tab of the Object Palette. I have looked for this option in several different ways and I am unable to locate a Field Tab under the Object Palette. I have even changed my original field type from Numerical to Decimal and still only get the same tabs to show under the Object Palette.. any advice is greatly appreciated.

if (this.rawValue = "0")
this.rawvalue = " "

I'm sorry, I'm a bit too new at the scripting. Can you tell me which dropdown section this code would go in? I tried it in Initialize, and Enter but it didn't work..

initialize should work.

is the user filling out the "0" or is it automatically populated?

if the user types it in, you can try the "exit" event


can you attach a sample form?

The part of the form just below

"Enter Training Amount Below" where there is a 0

and the part for "TOTAL NOW DUE" that shows a 0.

I have some guys who print and handwrite this, so I need it to show no zeros when it's blank. I do not have the Field Tab on my Objects Palette. I am willing to use the code, just don't know where to put it.

i sent you the form, here are the changes

on the TOTAL NOW DUE calculate event.

change the language to javascript


this.rawValue = rowSUBTOTALCONVERSION.infoSUBTOTAL.rawValue + rowINITIALS.infoTRAINING.rawValue - rowNOTEACCOUPON.ACCOUPONAMT.rawValue

if (this.rawValue == "0")
this.rawValue = ""

Thank you so much, it works perfectly, you're the best.


I didn't see a change for the "Enter Training Amount Below" field so I took what you did and modified this also to what is below.

It took me a couple of tries but it works, thank you so much!


this.rawValue = ((rowINITIALS.EXTRATRAININGDAYS.rawValue)*500)



if (this.rawValue == "0")
this.rawValue = ""

It's not the "Field" tab you're looking for - it's the "Patterns" button.

In later versions of LCDesigner there's a button for "allow zero" on the Patterns dialogue, or you can put [b]zero{}[/b] in the Pattern field.
