I assume you are using an text data merge(maybe not) but anyway, the
edit has to be done with a custom "mask" either at the program level
or using DDS at the file level... Instead of using the standard edit
code, you will need to create a edit word somthing like '   /  /   '.
See the RPG manual if you are including a report in a document or
see the DDS manual if you are using text data merge.....
