Shmuel:
This goes back quit a while but I will try and justify it.
I think the edit mask was 40202020214B2020 (example the 21 forced a
period before any numbers)
my memory says (and I might be wrong) that the last character was
say a 9C (by inserting a 0F ) it just worked.
The displayed field as a result of the ed would not print as a 9 (but
I will be honest and say I don't remember) but that is how I was
taught (and that may have been wrong).
I will have to play around with it when it get some time next time I
am in programming mode.

The way I remember dealing with the "c" was to do on OI
packed+4,x'0F' It was SOP to do so on all packed fields before
preparing them to ED.
Why? ED doesn't distinguish between C and F. I can understand the OI
prior to an UNPK of a value known to never be negative.
