If you just want to eliminate zero-blanking, and it's always going to be 
non-negative, the easiest way would be to set up a data structure with a 
zoned field overlaid on an alphanumeric field of the same length, Z-ADD 
your number into the zoned field, then use the alpha field.

Or in a display file, specify the edit code for your field as (if memory 
serves correctly) "N".

If, on the other hand, you want to always have exactly two leading 
zeroes, regardless of the number of digits that would display with 
zero-blanking, it gets more complicated.
