Alan,
Used this method: F1 = %EditC(%Dec(F2 : 6 : 0) : 'X')
Worked great.

Thanks,

Yeah, Alan added that, I think, in his second post. I had some kind of
problem with that in one instance - not sure why at the moment. So yeah,
that must be a good answer, too. My EDITW string probably would not
handle signs properly - but for what I needed, it was cool.

Just a quick reminder:

People often forget that edit code "X" preserves leading zeros.

I think fieldb needs to be alpha, not packed. I forget whether %char
preserves the leading zeroes - I think not. I believe I used %editw for
this - the format string was 7 characters long, started with a zero -
'0 ' - so that zero-suppression was not applied to the number.

fieldb = %editw(%dec(fielda : 6 : 0) : '0 ');
