Re: %EditC

Try adding %trim() around your %editc():

>    prmTransit = %trim( %editc( InTransit : '1' ) )

Edit code 1 inserts commas, and without the trim it will reserve the
space for them in the string even though it will not insert them, so a
13S 0 field becomes a string like so:

x,xxx,xxx,xxx,x46

where 'x' is a blank.  Commas will only be inserted when the number is
large enough to justify them.

Without %trim(), you are evalling the first 13 characters (the size of
your target field) which in this case are all blank.  By adding %trim()
you will end up with simple '46' in your target string.
