While moving a Alphanumeric to numeric field , i want to make it zero filled in the beginning , in case the value is less than the pic clause defined.

For eg: Alphanumeric variable = 6788
I want it as Numeric varible =00006788
How to achieve it ?

Thanks !!

IIRC, an alphanumeric to numeric move is allowed and takes on the properties of a simple numeric move which right justifies and pads with leading zeros.
How to achieve it? Just move it.

After making sure the pic x field really is numeric. . . .
