RE: Moving negative numeric value to character field

Also, the Edit Codes (%editc) are predefined.
The Edit Words (%editw) are defined in the program
D EDITW_Phone   C       '(   )   -    '

Obvious answer.

EditC allows you to chose a predetermined format.
EditW allows you to format a number that isn't predetermined for example
a phone number.
Char converts number to a character string.

Could knowing people shed light on the differences between %char,
%editw, & %editc?  Is there a preference?  Is there different behavior?
  Is %char a subset of %editc(fld: 'J')?
