I have a column that needs to be populated it is CHAR(17), i need to populate this fied with the EMPLOYEE number which is numeric (size 9). so when i try to move the value directly into the CHAR field the end result is something like this
"000002456 "..however i want soemthing like this
"2465 ".I tried various formatting options including lawson API's with no good result.Does anyone have a suggestion ?

You can do it yourself with COBOL code; it's a two-step process. First move the employee number to a numeric-edited field [i.e. PIC Z(9)]. Then use a loop to move character-by-character thru an alphanumeric field that redefines the edited field.
You can also look at the 5000-HREMP-FORMAT-FIELD API from HREMPFMT.
