RE: %char in /free

The problem with that Rick, is how do you change the edit word without 
editing the source if the field you are editing changes in length?  I 
don't think you can just recompile the program.

Maybe you can store an edit word into a variable, and you can define that 
variable like this other variable plus one character.  But that makes 
figuring the commas and stuff start to get a little tricky.

 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.


%EditW allows for an edit word 1 byte longer than the field length. 
Specify
the edit word as 1 longer than your field length and place the 0 in the
leftmost positon.
