RE: Strange behavior w/%editc()

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

That is what I suspected so I created the following:
     DdsFiscal         ds             6
     D fiscalYr                       4  0 overlay(dsfiscal:*next)
inz(2002)
     D fiscalMo                       2  0 overlay(dsfiscal:*next)
     D year1           s              4s 0 inz(2003)
     D year2           s              4p 0 inz(2004)
     D year3           s              5p 0 inz(2005)
     D headdesc        s             40a

      /free
       headdesc = 'Fixed Model FY ' + %editc(fiscalYr - 1:'X');
       dsply headdesc;
       headdesc = 'Fixed Model FY ' + %editc(year1 - 1:'X');
       dsply headdesc;
       headdesc = 'Fixed Model FY ' + %editc(year2 - 1:'X');
       dsply headdesc;
       headdesc = 'Fixed Model FY ' + %editc(year3 - 1:'X');
       dsply headdesc;
       *inlr=*on;
       return;
      /end-free
And every one had an extra zero
DSPLY  Fixed Model FY 02001
DSPLY  Fixed Model FY 02002
DSPLY  Fixed Model FY 02003
DSPLY  Fixed Model FY 002004
Don't make sense to me.

At a guess, any undefined value defaults to a length of 5,0 in RPG.

Because 1 is explicitly defined (not in a variable) its probably got hidden
attributes of 5,0 .

The edit code is then applied to the longest attribute.

Could be completely wrong of course - try bunging the 1 in a 4,0 variable
and see what happens.

Cheers,
           Martin

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
