RE: EDTCDE(Z) in a alfa field

Check out the %editc() built in function.  You pass it a number and an edit
code and it returns a character string formatted according to the rule for
that edit code.  E.g. eval numericchar = %editc(number : 'Z').  If number is
56, the value of numericchar would be ' 56' assuming numericchar is 3 bytes
long.  %trim() takes care of leading or trailing blanks.  You can also
concatenate the results of %editc() directly without putting them in a
temporary variable.  E.g. eval title = %trim(%editc(population : 'J') + '
Warthogs Weren't Enough'.
