Rob,

You can set a character field to decimal field's value if the fields are the 
same length.  Declare them the same length and use chgvar var(&char) 
value(&dec).  If you don't want the leading zeros, you will have to overlay 
them with blanks using %sst in a loop.

I have a character string which I want to start with the value '1' and
increment by 1.

How do I place the value of a *DEC into a *CHAR?
