Surround the field with double quotes.

C eval wString = %trim(wString) + ',"' + %editc(Number: 'X') + '"'

Hi Everyone,

I haven't ventured into the POI world yet so I'm using RPG to create a
.csv file in the IFS using the unix APIs like open(), write(), etc.

I can't figure out how to keep leading zeros for a numeric field.

An old article of Bob Cozzi in MC Press said to use the quote function,
e.g. =("001") but I get =(001")" in my column. Perhaps the quote function
will only work for people using CPYTOIMPF.

I've tried putting in an apostrophe in the front. I get '001 in my cell
instead of 001.

Secondly, I have a column (P.O. #) that should be character but the data
sometimes is numeric. The character data is left-justified and the
numeric data is right-justified.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Tks,

Glenn Gundermann
