Re: Check for a numeric data

This is how the CHECK oper code works.
        Factor 1 is your comparator string.
        Factor 2 is composed of two items separated by ":"
            1.    Base string
            2.    Start location
        Verification begins at the leftmost char (start location) of factor
2 base string (char by char going to the right) comparing it with the
elements in factor 1.  If a match is not found, an integer value is placed
in the result field to indicate the position of the incorrect character.
        This is the same with "CHECKR" oper code except that it begins with
the rightmost char (start location) going to the left.
        I would say that the loop is now being handled by the CHECK/CHECKR
operation.
