Rick Thanks
  But I want to update , not for display.
   I want to update FIELD2 with leading zeroes
 there by making it as 10 char value(wherever FIELD2 is less than 10 char) for  
FIELD1   in ('NYC1','NYC2')

Thanks a lot Buck for your posting.
I apologize I made a mistake in my posting, FIELD2 is defined as 18 char.

select FIELD2 from FILE where FIELD1 IN ('NYC1','NYC2').

This does nt work for me.
I want to update FIELD2 with leading
zeroes wherever it finds a value less than 10 digits.

It sounds like FIELD2 is already a numeric field. If that's the case,
then it is already stored with leading zeroes. Perhaps you're really
looking for a way to _present_ the value of FIELD2, so that the
presentation includes leading zeroes?

What are you using to see the value of FIELD2? Debug? A display file?
A report? DSPPFM? UPDDTA?
