Leading zero values in clist

Post by santosh24aug » Wed Dec 17, 2014 7:19 pm

I’m new to CLIST I have coded following CLIST statement

SET &CYCL1 = &CYCLENO
&CYCLENO has 0000 value in it, however when I’m using this value &CYCL1 is just giving me 0 instead of 0000
Can anyone please help me with this

1. learn REXX,forget CLIST

2. numerics are always zero suppressed. If you want more than 1 zero for the value zero, make it alpha with format instruction. (don't remember if fomat is a clist instr..)

JCL, SQL and code in programs have an irritating habit of doing what you say,
not what you meant.
