Re: Show nulls on display file?

You need to show only or also read?

Will blank mean null and zero the value zero? To display you can use
%editc() to move to a char field if not null, and clear the field if null.

You need to validate only if you need to read the field.

Is there a way to display a null value on a display file? I have a user
requesting that a 2-digit numeric field show either blanks or zero as well
as 1 - 99, emulating Excel-like behavior.

The only solution I can think of is to convert it to a character field
and validate for numeric or blank. Suggestions?

Thanks
