Hi All,
I have a display field with 8 field numeric length after user enters the data, i want to prefix two zeros in front of it how will i do it in RPGIV.

If you just want to eliminate zero-blanking, and it's always going to be non-negative, the easiest way would be to set up a data structure with a zoned field overlaid on an alphanumeric field of the same length, Z-ADD your number into the zoned field, then use the alpha field.

Or in a display file, specify the edit code for your field as (if memory serves correctly) "N".

If, on the other hand, you want to always have exactly two leading zeroes, regardless of the number of digits that would display with zero-blanking, it gets more complicated.
