Output pattern

You want the change statement. If there are no other 0s in the field 
except the one you want to change to spaces then it's totally easy:

field YourField
change "0" "  "

(That second parameter is 2 spaces surrounded by quotes.)

If you have other zeros in your field then you'll have to use text 
funnels and maybe a variable or two in order to get what you want. Also 
look at the replace() function. I started to fool with this and ran out 
of time to play before I figured it out but someone else will be able to 
do it on his head.
