I have an integer counter variable that I move to a character variable of the same size so that I can concatenate it into a message text string. Is there a way to get rid of the leading zeros when i convert from Int to Char?

Re: Leading Zeros
When you use
the leading *zeros will be removed.Code:eval mycharfield = %char(mydecimalfield)
to keep them use
Code:eval mycharfield = %editc(mydecimalfield:'X')
All my answers were extracted from the "Big Dummy's Guide to the As400"
and I take no responsibility for any of them.

Re: Leading Zeros
One possible alternative to the %CHAR built-in function is to use the Z edit code:Originally posted by jamief View Post
This also removes leading zeros.Code:eval mycharfield = %editc(mydecimalfield:'Z')
