I think you are missing a  parenthesis after the 1 and before the :'X')

parms.transNo = %editc%dec(transNo:%size(transNo):0) + 1):'X');

Subject: Can somebody explain this to me?????


I have to blocks of code that do the exact same thing(I think), one uses
2 steps the other does it all in one line.  The 2 step example works,
the 1 line does not.

os400 = v5r2m0
parms.transNo is 10A
transNo is 10A
wrk is 10S0

2 steps:

 wrk  = (%dec(transNo:%size(transNo):0) + 1);    
 parms.transNo = %editc(wrk:'X');                

1 step:

 parms.transNo = %editc%dec(transNo:%size(transNo):0) + 1:'X');


Basicly the code is attempting to read transaction number of 10 alpha,
increment it return it.  When is returned I want it padded with leading
zeros.  I want to use the 1 step approach so that I do not need to
define wrk field, I want to be able to increase or decrease transNo and
using the like keyword have it reflected throughout my code.

Robert
