Ben: <snip> Actually, the resulting character string needs to have at least 4 digits because all of our items in our item master are coded that way (not my decision obviously). Now that I think about it though, I could have probably used %trim(%editw(numItem : 'b0bbbb')) {b=blank} instead of %editc, right? </snip> I suppose if I had read "ALL" of your code, I would have seen that you had a legitimate reason for what you were doing. From what I see it looks like your item number is in a 10/0 field and you don't want all of the leading zeros, just a minimum of 4-bytes returned. My suggestion would ALWAYS give the max field length with ALL leading zeros. Your idea might work (you'd have to give it a try) but as the saying goes, "if it ain't broke...". Sorry for the confusion (and what's that size 10 doing in my mouth?). --Bruce Guetzkow
