COBOL screen redefinition question

I have the following field on a screen in a COBOL program...

06 F-RCV-DATE         PIC X(08)        ROW 08 COLUMN 64
SOURCE IS S-RCV-DATE
OBJECT IS S-RCV-DATE.

...defined as...

03 S-RCV-DATE       PIC X(08).
03 FILLER REDEFINES S-RCV-DATE.
04 S-SPL-LIST    PIC X(02).
04 F-SPL-QTY     PIC X(01).
04 S-SPL-QTY     PIC Z(05).

Using a PF-KEY switch, I'm either moving something into S-RCV-DATE or the
three redifined fields.  Problem is, even though S-SPL-QTY is defined as a
"Z" field, it acts like an "X".  (Example:  I key in a "20", which stays
left-justified and is ultimately saved as "20000".)  Is there any EASY way
to get what I'm looking for here without creating a whole second "twin"
screen or performing wacky routines to make the "X" into a "Z"????  Thanks!

Well, I came up with a clunky solution...  Moving the S-SPL-QTY with
conversion to the numeric field I want it to end up in.  Doesn't make for a
pretty screen upon hitting enter, but it saves it correctly and brings it up
next time as such.
