I have a variable which contains say a value of 01  I need to convert it to
a character data type but I need to include any leading zeros..



So in this particular case, I have a numeric field which can hold a 6 digit
numeric value: 000001  I need to convert it to a char type but retain all
leading zeros.



I thought I could use %editw() but it does not seem to work.  %editc()
drops
leading zeros so that won't work for this particular problem.



Suggestions?
