Hi all,

I am trying to take a character field (10A) containing something like
123.45bbbbb,
And move it into a numeric field (12,2) 0000000123.45.

The character field may or may not contain a decimal point.
Therefore its value could be from  .01 ==> 9999999999

Some time ago the C function ATOL was mentioned by Hans.

I'm using V3R7 and managed to get his example working fine.

Unfortunately this only returns the integer part of the value.

I also tried ATOF but I'm not sure what the resulting value means.  2235.14
= 1079246848 ?

I can solve this problem using data structures and selects but I'm looking
for an elegant ILE solution.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Colin
