RE: Issue with Numeric to Character Conversion in RPG Free

Try %editc( myNumeric:'editcode'). You can wrap the result with a %substr or
a %trim if necessary.

%editC uses a hardcoded value for the editcode. If you need to pass a
variable edit code, someone recently wrote an example using APIs. Google is
your friend.

CONSNO = %CHAR(Partner#);

Consno is 8A
Partner# 8S 0 and has a value of 00012345

When Statement CONSNO = %CHAR(Partner#); is executed the Value of CONSNO
is 12345bbb (b=Blank)

How can I get the Value of CONSNO to = 00012345

Thanks for your assistance

Mike
