RE: %CHAR Availability

It appears that field ShGWgt is not a date/time/time stamp or graphic type
field -
this bif is for those type of fields, not purely a numeric field-

try the following if I understand what you are attempting..


C                   Eval      EGWgt =
C                                %Trim(%EditW(ShGWgt' ,   ,   ,  0.   '))

you may end up with a %trimR - I keep getting these mixed up and end up in
debug to see my results

Subject: %CHAR Availability




I'm trying to use %CHAR to convert a numeric field to an alpha, and keep
getting
a compile error of:

   *RNF0386 30      1 The parameter for %CHAR is not valid.

The statement I'm using is:

   0187.00 C                   Eval      EGWgt  = %CHAR(ShGWgt)

where EGWgt is 14(A) and ShGWgt is 13,3.

While this is a new function for me, it looks pretty self-explanatory ...
the
only thing I could think of is that %CHAR
isn't available on our release (V4R3).  Anyone know when this function
became
available, or is there something
else obvious that I'm missing?
