Re: Beginner needs help w/ decimal field to text field

Don't be afraid!  You'll kick yourself later if you don't.  Use CVTRPGSRC
and fill in the blanks.
  You can pretty it up later after you know more about extended factor 2.  
Change LOGFILE to *NONE
until you get comfortable with it.  Then go in and code the %EDITC built in 
function.  Once you use it
you won't want to see RPG400 again.  Be sure to create your source file with 
whatever name you want
with a length of at least 112 (CRTSRCPF).  Bob Cozzi's RPGIV book is good also.
