Edit codes don't apply to file fields when the data is stored in a numeric
format. They are for show like date formats. I've never tried to convert
type numeric to alpha in a copy command so I can't comment on that.
If you want to do convert numeric to alpha and build a new file a simple
RPGIV program to read one file and write another is how I would do it.
Then you could use the edit code to format the alpha version of the field.

editing numeric fields in a physical file
Sent by:

I am copying records from an input file to an output file.
Can I use edit codes in the DDS field definition of the output file such
that a CPYF *MAP will change a packed numeric field to an alpha or at
lease a zoned numeric field with zero suppression?
Is there a method to force the edit code to apply when writing to a PF?
Example:
Input physical file:
A..........T.Name++++++RLen++TDpB......Functions++++++++++
OrderAmt 7 2P
Output physical file:
A..........T.Name++++++RLen++TDpB......Functions++++++++++
OrderAmt 9 EDTCDE(N)
Data example:
input
x "0012345C"
output:
123.45
Thanks!
