Display 00 in a numeric field

[dcutaia]

I have a 3 numeric field in a file that I am trying to display as 00 on my display. I use the EDTCDE(J) code but it comes out with just one zero not two. Can one recommend a way to display a 3 numeric pack field as 00 on a dds display screen.

Thanks,

Go to

in the search box on the left hand side enter EDTWRD

look for the result "EDTWRD (Edit Word) keyword for display files"

What we would also need to know is how you would like any other number to be displayed.

ie:

Are you only going to be displaying 2 digits for any number?

Do you want to display all 3 digits for all numbers, zero compressed, but 0 becomes 00?

Exactly. I want zeros to appear as 00 instead of just 0.

I used the EDTCDE(X) and it worked. It populated 00 in my field when the field is zeros.
