Hi all,

How would you do the following in EGL: mychar = %editc(mynbr:'X');

My fields are defigned as such:

mynbr decimal(6,0);
mychar char(6);

when I do mychar = mynbr

I get: "76855 ". The result I would like is "076855"

Any Idea on how to do this?

It's not a one-for-one replacement, but if you know the length it's
pretty simple:

mychar = formatNumber(mynbr, "&&&&&&");

The upside to formatNumber is that it has a bit more flexibility:
Here's the 6.0 documentation:
