RE: Edit codes

If the question is, know which edit code to use? Then I have should
mention that, that very issue was one of the first things I put into
CodeStudio. When you prompt an output spec, it gives you a little window
with the edit codes in them and their formatting capabilities. You
simply select the edit code and it shows you that code's output results.
I assume if you don't use CodeStudio, you're using Code/400, and it
wouldn't be that tough to add it to Code/400.
