Hello, I need to format a 7,2 numeric field (vlcontamt) to 7 alpha with
leading zeros and a left hand minus sign.
I've searched the archives and found references to the 'N' edit code, but
that suppresses leading zeros.

eval      wrk11a     = %editc(vlcontamt:'P')

Results when running program is in debug mode:

positive amount   WRK11A = '    61.10  '
negative amount         WRK11A = '    -8.6710  '

I thought the "P" edit code was supposed to provide leading zeors?


Thank You and happy 4th of July!
