Hi all, I am trying to convert a numeric field to a character field. The numeric field has a decimal (14,2). The character field must 1) keep leading zeros, 2) keep the decimal point and 3) have no commas. ex. D Num s 14p 2 D MyDS ds 25 D field 1 10 Overlay(MyDS) D Alpha 15 Overlay(MyDS:*next) Num = 210.23 Alpha = "000000000210.23" I know how to jump thru hoops with data structures to do this. (I want to avoid this method.) I know how to do this with %editw (I will use this if no %editc is available to suite my purposes, but prefer to avoid this method.) I normally use %editc( field : 'X' ) which keeps leading 0s, but found out that it drops the decimal point, so it is only useful for integer values. Does anyone know of another %editc that I am missing or another way of doing this? TIA, Seth Shields Julius Blum, Inc. 7733 Old Plank Rd. Stanley, NC 28164
