RE: EDITC and EDITW

I used DECEDIT('0.') in the H spec then used edit code of 'P' in my code to accomplish what you need. I had the same issue. Had to have the zero before the decimal and a left negative sign.

i_uncost = %editc(imp04:'P');

But it doesn't preserve the lead 0 if the value is less than 1.00

This, .95, is an invalid JSON number
0.95 is a valid one.

Doug B,

I have used the P edit code many times for left handed negative sign.
It works very nicely.
