That’s contradictory. If you put it into a report and left-justify, it will be character.
 
The “left-justify” implies suppressing leading zeros. As soon as you do that, you must convert to characters. And if you want to keep leading zeros, then there is no need to “left-justify”.
 
Please show examples of values, and show how you want those examples to print.

I dont want to convert it to character. Any suggestion?  No… except for the type of solution you’ve already rejected. 
Use the %TRIM(%EDITC …) in the C spec (for free format) to populate a character field and use that field in the O spec’s or Printer file.
