%char alternative

Hi,


What I'm wanting is to convert a packed decimal figure 16,8. To a character
field, but miss off both leading zeros and trailing zeros.

E.g. 00000003.75000000 ----> '3.75'
I can get '3.75000000' using %Char, but none of the editC's I use, seem to
help.

Thanks In Advance

Eve Emery
