What do you have to do when you need to add a 9 to a string with the edit function. Since 9 is already used for generic characters what would you do in this situation.

I'd concatenate the '9' to the string.

If you have to add more than one '9' to the string, use any special character instead (for instance #) and use the CTRAN to change all the #'s into 9's.

DEFINE FILE CAR
C#/A20=EDIT(COUNTRY,'9#9#9#9#9#9#9#9#9#9#');
C9/A20=CTRAN(20,C#, 35, 57, 'A20');
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT C# C9 
BY COUNTRY
END
