The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Hi Chuck,
Thanks a lot.

Subject: Re: Numeric to character conversion in RPGIII
Irrespective of language, there are the editing APIs. From an edit
code or edit word which represents the manner in which to convert
internal numeric representation into character string for presentation,
a mask is created. The mask and the numeric data can then be passed to
the Edit API to generate the character string. The generated mask can
be stored, and then used repeatedly; i.e. the input to the edit word or
edit code feature, does not need to be converted into a mask each time.

Input to EdtWrd [edit word] feature is a string. Input to EdtCde
[edit code] is a single character. To review about how to specify the
edit input, see that detail for /display files/ for example, at:

Unfortunately my shop uses RPGIII and is loathe to convert to RPG1V.
Please help
