RE: text to numeric BIF

I didn't see the earlier messages, but didn't Barbara write a program that
does this?  You could wrap that into a BIF.

I got some good suggestions, but haven't really had the time to look into
these.  So for the time being, I'm doing the dreaded MOVE to move the text
to a signed numeric, then a Z-ADD to get the value from the signed field to
a packed.  Very, very ugly.

We'll be moving to V5R2 before too long, so I'm probably just going to wait
for the new BIF's.

Mike, I have tried to look for and search for some way to work this out.
My
favorite place (besides MIDRANGE) is http://search400.techtarget.com/ but
neither there...

I am curious...did you find a way to do it?
