Got it right justified now. Wasn't sure if I just dreamed it or read
it somewhere. Used evalr.

Thanks for the help and the reference page.

%edtc with edit code N might do it for you.

The consultnt wants numeric values with decimal point and a leading minus sign (if negative).

I thought I could do it like this:

eval bal =  %editw( acct_bal : '-          .  ')

A test showed that 1234.56 a packed field, was converted to 123456.

I have no idea if the minus sign will show.

Should I use %wditc instead?  What code will show a decimal point, no commas, and a leading minus sign?
