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

    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')
No, I don't know of a way to do that. What you're really looking for is output specs that write to a variable :)
BTW, I'm sure this was just a simple mistake, but it's %EDITC not %EDTCDE. Frustratingly, I've seen published articles and books that refer to the non-existant %EDTCDE! The BIF is actually %EDITC.
