I found something that worked, I guess I will follow up on my own post:

NumberFormat format = NumberFormat.getInstance();
format.setGroupingUsed(false);
System.out.println(format.format(trans.getEmployeeNum()));
System.out.println(format.format(trans.getEmployeeNum()));

the setGroupingUsed was the key, thanks to all who replied!

Does anyone know how I can get rid of the Thousands-separator in a Long data type object? I have looked all over NumberFormat, and can not find a function to accomplish this. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ryan

Thanks for all the help and the quick response!!! I think I have it now.

I would like to question the validity of this statement made about Assgn 1.3.
"The tricky thing here is that a leap year occurs:
on every year that is evenly divisible by 4
except every year that is evenly divisible by 100
except every year that is evenly divisible by 400. "
Wouldn't that mean that the year 2000 wasn't a leap year?
2000/4 = 500
2000/100 = 20
2000/400 = 5
Please set me straight if I am misinterpreting this pseudo code.

Lynn,
Watch out for the nitpicker!! My advice would be to e-mail your code from an account like Yahoo or Hotmail. That way your source code doesn't get indents and other stuff in wacky places. This is a great site though, with a lot of good information and help.

The only modeling tool that I have used is called SELECT. Although it was simple to pick up at first, it is a slow and clunky program. The built in help was also not very helpful when trying to find answers to more advanced questions. Switching between windows and diagrams was also very cumbersome! Hope this helps.
