RE: Easy way to define a DS char subfield the same size assomenumeric field?

Not intuitive, but below should work
     D myNumFld        s             10p0  
     
     D myNumFldSize    ds                                  
     D  dummy1                             like(myNumFld)  
     D  dummy2                       -1    like(myNumFld)
                                                      
     D myDS            DS                  qualified
     D                                9a   inz('Value is:')
     D  myCharFld                    -1    like(myNumFldSize)

     C                   eval      myDs.myCharFld =
%edtcde(myNumFld:'X')

assomenumeric field?


What I'd like to be able to do is the following:

     D myNumFld        s             10p0  

     D myDS            DS                  qualified
     D                                9a   inz('Value is:')
     D  myCharFld
like(%size(%edtcde(myNumFld:'X'))

     C                   eval      myDs.myCharFld =
%edtcde(myNumFld:'X')
