RE: evalr pad 0

As someone else suggested (forgot who...) I would go with:
/free 
   evalr char10 = %editc(num3:'X');
   char10 = %xlate(' ':'0':char10); 


Thanks,
Tommy Holden

Thanks.  
Strange that compiler error out when do below "evalr char10 = *all'0' +
%editc(num3 :'X');"  

Any suggestion on evalr without blank out the left?

This also will give you what you want:

    /free
      char10=*all'0';
      evalr char10=char10 + %editc(num3:'X');
    /end-free

Question 2: Without hardcode length of any field, anybody know of an 
easier way to evalr without pad blank on the left ()?
  Below is what I came up with and they are kind of ugly:
  %subst(char10                           
        :%len(char10)-%len(num3)+1       
        :%len(num3)) = %editc(num3 :'X');

or
 
  char10 = %subst(char10:1:%len(char10)-%len(num3)) + 
           %editc(num3 :'X');
