RE: %char numeric conversion

Dennis,

     %char is a BIF (built in function) in RPG.  Thanks to everyone for their 
resolutions.  I also found it in the midrange FAQ.

Hi, Eric:

Is that RPG?  I don't know the %CHAR function, but if it's RPG, you can 
simply MOVE the numeric field to a 2-byte character field, producing the 
results you named.

I am trying to convert a numeric field (2,0) to character using %char.  If 
the number is 01, the returned character is '1'.  Any ideas on how to get 
the returned character to '01'?
