Re: current best practice" packed/11/4 to char/5

%int().   ah, yes.  Glad I asked.  Knew about %int() yet I didn't 
connect the dots.  Thank you,

As to the decimal places:  The same conversation that "guaranteed" it'd 
never be over 99 also assured me there'd never be fractional 
quantities,  We had > 99 within 72 hours; I am going with truncating and 
no leading zeros.

%char(%int()) it shall be then.

Thank you Jon.

If there is only one significant digit do you want leading zero or blanks? Or perhaps a single digit number should be left aligned in the char field.
