Thanks all, but the problems continue !
Ok, I've got my month, in this case gMs = '04'.
I'm using it in embedded SQL like this :
EXEC SQL
Select zones From file where
DMS <= : gMs;
If I copy/paste my sql statement in an interactive session, I get the expected result.
However the program extracts the transactions where DMS is less than gMs. So I get the expected result minus the transactions for April.
Have I got the syntax wrong?
Thanks again everyone for your help!

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?
