Strange behavior w/%editc()

I have a weird one using the %editc() bif.

I have the following defined:
     Dfclprd           s              6  0 DTAARA(fclprd)
     DdsFiscal         ds             6
     D fiscalYr                       4  0 overlay(dsfiscal:*next)
     D fiscalMo                       2  0 overlay(dsfiscal:*next)

It is used in this way:
     c                   in        fclprd
     c                   move      fclprd        dsFiscal

     c                   eval      headdesc = Center('Fixed Model FY ' +
     c                              %editc(fiscalYr - 1:'X'):40)

The output looks like this:
 Fixed Model FY 02001

If I use the 'Z' edit code, it trims the zero but why is the zero there in
the first place?

BTW I'm on V4R5.

Thanks,

Mark
