It would be helpful if you would provide more information, since you never provide adequate background information on what you are trying to accomplish.

For example:
"when I created the field as 8 character, >it< adds leading zeros so I made
the field numeric 8S 00 but they want it to be character."

what is "it" ?

"Any ideas how to copy without throwing in the leading zeros? I think an RPG
program would be the way but is there any way in a CL or Command?"

Copy to where?

As always, you should learn how to better ask questions:

HI I have to create a file based on employee badge info.

there is name and dept 40 characters each.

the badge id is 3 but they want the PF to hold 8 for futures.

when I created the field as 8 character, it adds leading zeros so I made
the field numeric 8S 00 but they want it to be character.

Any ideas how to copy without throwing in the leading zeros? I think an RPG
program would be the way but is there any way in a CL or Command?
