I don't think you can do it with editc one way to do it is with %char;but it will not separate the thousands.

If tou need the output aligned by the decimal point you can put theedited field in a work area and replace the trailing zeros by blanks,something like this:

asuming an edited output of 20 characters, adjust as needed.

aux20 = %editc(number:..
for i = 20 to 1 by -1;
  if %subst(aux20: i: 1) <> *zero;
      leave;
  endif;
  %subst(aux20: i: 1) = *blank;
endfor;

If you don't care about align:

edited= %xlate(' ': '0': %trim(%xlate('0': ' ': %editc(number: 'a')));

Thanks Jim,

Resending my request.....

I have a requirement not to print trailing zeros in decimal fields.
I had a look at all the %EDIT options in RPG's built in function, could not 
figure it out by my self.

For e.g.

123.5600000 should be printed as 123.56.

Can I get some help please.

Many thanks for help.

Best rgds.,
