How do I convert from numeric to text keeping the leading zeros?

by  iSeriesCodePoet  Posted    (Edited  )
If you want to keep the leading zeros for a number that you want converted from numeric to text, use the following:

Code: 
D MyNum      S    4  0
D MyResult   S    4 

/free 
  MyResult = %trim(%editw(MyNum:'0    '));
/end-free
