I am trying to edit a 10-digit phone number with an edit word so the output would look like this:
(205)-381-1250.
My edit word is keyed as:
'( )- - '
Does anyone have any ideas on this? When I do this, my output ends up being 205)-381-1250. I cannot get the first parenthesis to work.... Any help would be appreciated.

Try this edit word:
'0( ) - '
This was valid in RPGII; I'm not sure about RPG/400 or DDS. Also remember to count an extra space for the leading zero (i.e., you couldn't output this field ending in position 13.)

You could use one of the user-definable edit codes (5-9). These allow you to specify a left-constant character. Check it out with the WRKEDTD command.

Try deleting one of your edit codes (I use nine for the telephone number), and:
CRTEDTD EDTD(9) + INTMASK(' )& - ') + LFTCNS('(') + TEXT('Telephone edit code')
Then write down how you did it. The next release you put on, I think, will wipe it out.
