Actually,

DisplayField = %char(NumericField)

Left Justifies and trims lead zeros.

You would have to define the field as character in the DDS and then use
EVAL
DisplayField = %TRIM(%EDITC(NumericField:'3')) to display the number
left
justified without leading zeroes.

Hope that helps.

I have a numeric field that has an EDTCDE(3) on it in the DDS to strip
off
leading zeros.  However, when I display the field it right-justifies the
number.
