RE: [EXTERNAL] Re: Is a string numeric

We are trying to NOT go backwards - plus - I could have sworn there was something new released just recently
I was told about te SQL TRY_CAST - but that looks to be available from V7r4 - and we are on V7r3

Hi everyone
We are on V7r3
Current on all ptf's and TFR's(?)
I may not be remembering this correctly - but wasn't there something recently released , for SQL and/or RPG, that could be used to determine if a string is numeric?
I do already have a method but if my memory is correct, would like to use that new bif/command

If my memory is failing me (no surprise there), then I will resort to what I have used in the past

As always - all replies gratefully accepted
