Adding to the many that will appear :

DEF D_LINE char*100 = TRUNC(PACK(CITY + " " + PROVINCE_STATE)) + "  "  +
POSTAL_ZIP_CODE

Greetings Gurus,

My question is simple, but the solution isn't (to me). I'm trying to format
address labels exactly as prescribed by the US postal service. Specifically,
the
last line should look like this:
CITY ST  12345-6789

Our files are set up so that city, state, and zip are three separate fields,
so
this should be a simple use of the PACK command. Well, I want TWO spaces
between
city state and zip code. I've tried various ways to fool the PACK command,
but
it continues to place one space between these fields. 

Any ideas on forcing two blank spaces? Thanks.
