Re: Editing leading zeroes -- RPG400-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

Try %EDITC(field:'3') if you want Leeding zeros, no commas and no signing.


Thanks,

Is there a way to use %CHAR (or %EDITC or %EDITW) to NOT strip off the
leading zeroes?  We have a need to keep the zeroes for zip codes, social
security nbrs, dates, and master file key fields.

Thanks in advance for any help.
