Re: RPG Free question

Hi all.
I am using RPG Free. I need to convert a 4 digit numeric to a 4 character
alpha and KEEP the leading zeros. I know that the BIF "%char" will do the
numeric to character conversion BUT it also drops the leading zeros.
Can anyone tell me how to do this???
Thanks.

This is more appropriate to the RPG400-L list. And I'm sure if you search the archives of RPG400-L, you'd quickly discover that the answer to your question is to use built-in function %EDITC(...:'X').

Cheers! Hans
