Hi,

I want to know hot to deal zeroes as not null from and an edited numeric field in CICS screen.

This is the current scenario.
There are null values in DB2 table and these values are thrown as spaces in the numeric-edited field on the screen, and when ever the user enters zero in the field from the screen, because of the numeric-edit, the zero is been treated as spaces. Now in this case I have situation where I need to handle these zeroes in the numeric-edited field and store them as zeroes in the DB-2 table. Can I know how to deal with numeric-edited fields to check in the program, whether the spaces was because of the zero entered or is it genuine space.

Thanks in advance

Don't load the field with spaces, load with low values?
Check to see if the MDT was turned on?
Save the before value of the field and compare it to the after value before the "numeric-edit"?
