If I have a 3-byte packed decimal field (and let's say 0 decimals 
for simplicity), I might normally go with the following edit mask if I 
didn't want to retain leading zeros but leave one zero for a value of 
zero.

x'40202020212060'

        But if I wanted to retain leading zeros, would you simply change 
the fill byte to x'F0'?  ...or would you do something else?

Sincerely,

Dave Clark
