David,
Charles already gave you the tip to use %dec.
%Subdt returns an unsigned integer. Using %editc with 'X' will probably
result in '000000004'.
So you have several options:
1. Charles' suggestion: use %dec to convert the integer to a 2-digit
decimal:
gMs = %editc(%dec(%SUBDT ( AFinDt : *MONTHS ) :2 : 0) 'X');
2. Use %char (I get '4' for April; not '40')
gMs = %char(%SUBDT ( AFinDt : *MONTHS ));
3. Use EVALR
EVALR gMs = %editc(%SUBDT ( AFinDt : *MONTHS )) 'X');

Francis,
I said I tried that and got '00'!
I've got round it with this :
D wMs S 2S 0
wMs = %SUBDT ( AFinDt : *MONTHS );
gMs = %EDITC ( wMs : 'X' );
But surely there's a neater way?
