Have you considered executing an EXECuted MVC of character zeroes over
the edited data? Or a CLI, MVI loop on the edited data?

Moving the Sig Start earlier is usually all you need; except it has what I
consider to be the perverse effect of starting significance with the
following digit. Which makes it impossible to include the first leading
zero naturally (because SoS picks up a digit, and suppresses it if 0).
Sometimes using C'0' as the pad works out; sometimes, you have to coerce
the input field to be longer than (1 more digits) than you want to display.

Dave, you raise a good point. ED is powerful but tricky. You would have to
read the PoOp very carefully. Sorry to wimp out here, but it has been a
long
time for me. I fear you are correct: that ED will happily use the
significance starter as a fill byte, with unhappy results. For the "no
blank
fill" case you may have to ZAP the data to a larger field, or use UNPK and
OI.
