GRM – datget issue on a numeric field within an frl

I am having an issue where the datget on a field within my .frl is always stripping leading zero’s.

VERSION: Version 5.7 Rev2

AIX OS Level: 6.1.0.0

Message excerpt

MESSAGE = B0000118399179QASTIFFLER, MARIA

Rec_Type = B0 ( ch 2 bytes )

Acct_Num = 000118399179 ( nm 12 bytes )

Name = QASTIFFLER, MARIA (ch 25 bytes )

Code snippet ( example )

set ghIn [grmcreate -msg $mh frl name.frl]

set outputVal [datget [grmfetch $ghIn Acct_Num] VALUE]

In the above, outputVal always has the value with leading zero’s stripped ( in this case 118399179 )

Is there a way to preserve / extract the whole field using GRM

Thanks

Andre’
