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.

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.
