Re: RPGLE string to number

The %trim() is superfluous. More CPU time to do the same thing, but
it'll work.

However, %INT was a bad idea. %INT cannot handle the full range of
20-digit numbers. Use %DEC instead (I posted an example in an earlier
message in this thread)

If it's an integer the %INT() BIF should work.
myNumField = %int(%trim(myCharField));

The %TRIM() might not be needed, I can't remember for sure there.
