RE: %CHAR

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Ok, I got it to work.  It just took me awhile to figure out that I needed
to make the edit work 1 character bigger than the variable.  For example:

     D Alpha           s              5a
     D edtwrd          c                   '0     '
     D number          s              5p 0
      /free
       number=1;
       alpha=%subst(%editw(number:edtwrd):2:%len(alpha));
       dsply alpha; // '00001'
       number=12;
       alpha=%subst(%editw(number:edtwrd):2:%len(alpha));
       dsply alpha; // '00012'
       number=123;
       alpha=%subst(%editw(number:edtwrd):2:%len(alpha));
       dsply alpha; // '00123'
       number=1234;
       alpha=%subst(%editw(number:edtwrd):2:%len(alpha));
       dsply alpha; // '01234'
       number=12345;
       alpha=%subst(%editw(number:edtwrd):2:%len(alpha));
       dsply alpha; // '12345'
       *inlr=*on;
       return;
      /end-free

I can give you examples of using the C functions to convert numeric to
character, but I'm not sure they belong in the FAQ.  The RPG BIFs aren't
lacking in this area, so why add the complexity?

Any particular reason you wanted to use the C functions?
