Jeff;

This is the procedure I built to convert character inputs to the appropriate type. I believe that the only missing piece from this is the user condition handler procedure "PROVISIONERUSERCH003". If you want that too I can send it also.

Strip it down to what you need or fit it into your environment.

Main procedure:

Copybooks: Some of these are ancient sorry.

Subject: Convert Character to Numeric

I have a character field where the number of digits and decimal places is stored
in a file.
I need to convert this to a fixed length numeric field that is defined in my
program.
It appears that the %Dec BIF required a literal or a value that is known at
compile time.
What is the best way to do this?

Thanks,
