Re: Decimal Place in Character String

Yes, I figured %EDITW was out of the question, since the constant edit mask already has decimal precision embedded.  It effectively converts the numeric value anyway.  But I didn't follow the obvious logical path that %EDITC would simply make use of %EDITW.

So that being said, a runtime-precision %EDITC might most "easily" be implemented by allowing a variable for %EDITW rather than a constant. Then users could populate that field at run time.

    myFormattedValue = %editw( myNumeric: wEditMask);

And to take it one step further, allow that value to be created dynamically using a %MASK BIF which would surface QECCVTEC.

    myFormattedValue = %editw( myNumeric:
         %mask( wPrecision: wDecimals: wEditCode: wZeroFill: wCurrency));
