Hi Avinash,

The ques doesn't provide much info. Why don't you give an example w/data defs and data diagrams. Also COBOL stmts, etc.

Do you want to just supress the leading spaces when you print the number out? If so, then use the pic on the display field to supress the leading zeros. You don't really ever want spaces in a numeric field.
