RE: Editing numeric values

That's true, %EDITW works, but I would personally avoid this and use %EDITC.  
Why?  Because if the dimensions of your variable ever change, so does your edit 
word.  Avoiding these dependencies can make a big difference on 
maintainability.....

JMHO,

Eric

charVal = %editw(numericVal : '0bbbbbb');

Where b is a blank.
Six blanks should work for a 6-digit numeric field.

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?
