Hi Donald

>> When you find it, please tell me where it is. :)

Always happy to help, if you look in the ILE RPG Reference, Chapter 11 under
"Simple Edit Codes" the manual states:

"The X edit code ensures a hexadecimal F sign for positive fields.  However,
because the system does this, you normally do not have to specify this code.
Leading zeros are not suppressed.  The X edit code does not modify negative
numbers."

All the best

Jonathan
