Non-technically, it'd be easier to use %EditW. The original questioner asked to do it without an edit word but these solutions being offered suggest that %EditW was a real good addition to the %BIF Library. At this point I am wondering why the request to avoid an edit word? I wonder if the requestor had overlooked %EditW when he wrote his e-mail? Along this line of inquiry I've found a problem I don't know how to resolve. It has to do with the leading zeros. One places the 0 in the edit word in the column to the left of where the leading zeros are to start as I understand it. How does one get a leading zero in the very first column, as there is no position to the left of it. --------------------------------------------------------- Booth Martin http://www.MartinVT.com Booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------- -------Original Message------- From: RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries Date: Monday, April 21, 2003 13:38:21 To: rpg400-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: %char in /free Technically, neither of these work since figurative constants aren't allowed with the catenation operator. Ideally, you should have some solution that's independent of both the target of the assignment aand the size of the numeric variable. Cheers! Hans
