Re: Convert decimal number to string

Page 230 in the v6r1 rpg manual. If some other version, search on "Summary
of Edit Codes" in RPG manual.

The consultnt wants numeric values with decimal point and a leading
minus sign (if negative).

I thought I could do it like this:

eval bal = %editw( acct_bal : '- . ')

A test showed that 1234.56 a packed field, was converted to 123456.

I have no idea if the minus sign will show.

Should I use %wditc instead? What code will show a decimal point, no
commas, and a leading minus sign?
