When it comes to consuming web APIs on your IBM i, your options often boil down to one of two things:įirst, you end up having to rely on a variety of open source and non-RPG solutions. Look at the edited values in the following table. This code works fine if the first digit is not zero, but fails otherwise. The following code uses an edit word to insert the hyphens, as you are trying to with your account numbers. I don’t know if any Social Security numbers begin with zero or not, but that’s irrelevant to this illustration, so I’ll assume they can. The usual way to edit a Social Security number is to place hyphens after the third and fifth digits, like this: 123-45-6789. Let’s illustrate with an example that many of your fellow readers will be familiar with: those nine-digit Social Security numbers without which Americans can’t do anything. The good news is there’s a way around it. The system blanks out everything before the first non-zero digit, including editing characters. I’ve used edit codes for years, but rarely edit words. I must be doing something wrong, because leading zeros don’t show up.
