Hi,
My working storage contains a variable ws-aaa pic 9(09).
The value coming is 000000412. i would like to supress the zeroes and make it 412.
I have declared Z9(09). Will this work?
Please reply

| For your original example of 000000412 to 412, Z(6)999, Z(7)99, Z(8)9 & Z(9) will work. Which one you use depends on what you want to see when the field contains only zero: 000, 00, 0 or just spaces..... |

Yes, this is the best way.
There are other ways to display sign of amount (+/-), or $ sign or * sign etc. But only for zero suppression, this one is best.

From the above coding, you will not get the expected result. You have declared as Z9(09) which means Z999999999. So only 0 in the 10th place will get suppressed.
Declaration can be done depending on the requirement. To get the expected result in your example, following way of declation will do
Z(06)9(03) or Z(06)999 --> ZZZZZZ999
Z(07)9(02) or Z(07)99 --> ZZZZZZZ99
Z(08)9(01) or Z(08)9 --> ZZZZZZZZ9
Z(09) --> ZZZZZZZZZ
Hope you understood the concept. |
