Hi Jeff
I've had more of those days than I care to remember.
Anyway, try
Fieldb = %Dec(Fielda: 6: 0);

Subject: Right adjust zero fill character field
All,
I am having a brain freeze moment today.
I have a 20 byte character field that will contain up to 6 bytes of data left adjusted.
I need to take the data from the first field and load it to a 6 byte field padded with leading zeros.
ie: field a = '1234 '
I want field b to be '001234'
when field a = '12345'
field b = '012345;
Thanks,
