How to use the Edit Code
%EDITC(numeric : editcode {: *ASTFILL | *CURSYM | currency-symbol})This function returns a character result representing the numeric value edited according to the edit code. In general, the rules for the numeric value and edit code are identical to those for editing numeric values in output specifications. The third parameter is optional, and if specified, must be one of:
*ASTFILL
Indicates that asterisk protection is to be used. This means that leading zeros are replaced with asterisks in the returned value. For example, %EDITC(-0012.5 : 'K' : *ASTFILL) returns '***12.5-'.
*CURSYM
Indicates that a floating currency symbol is to be used. The actual symbol will be the one specified on the control specification in the CURSYM keyword, or the default, '$'. When *CURSYM is specified, the currency symbol is placed in the the result just before the first significant digit. For example, %EDITC(0012.5 : 'K' : *CURSYM) returns ' $12.5 '.
currency-symbol
Indicates that floating currency is to be used with the provided currency symbol. It must be a 1-byte character constant (literal, named constant or expression that can be evaluated at compile time). For example, %EDITC(0012.5 : 'K' : 'X') returns ' X12.5 '.
