Well sometimes I actually end up on the right road, but make a wrong turn :)

You were on the right track with %editC  the edit code that you want to use
is  'X'

I have a variable which contains say a value of 01  I need to convert it

to

a character data type but I need to include any leading zeros..



So in this particular case, I have a numeric field which can hold a 6

digit

numeric value: 000001  I need to convert it to a char type but retain all
leading zeros.



I thought I could use %editw() but it does not seem to work.  %editc()

drops

leading zeros so that won't work for this particular problem.



Suggestions?
