Hi,
I would like to know how can we make the value 5------- to 00000005 WHERE - stands for SPACES.

I am having a problem validating a NUMERIC field when I read from a IMS DC map. Though I Enter 5------- it is not taking it as NUMERIC inside the program so I need a CONVERSION method to convert to 00000005

Take a look at the field on your MFS map - how is it defined?
