Yes, it should be. If you have further RPG questions you should subscribe.

So, what is the equivalent to the COBOL numeric test in RPGLE?

 I find:   'FIELD   IFGE    0
                FIELD   ORLE    999'    (FIELD is 3  0)

I'm sure RPGLE can do better than this? Or?

That's how it has to be for RPG III (and the so-called RPG/400 dialect). RPG IV supports that form too but gives additional options.

RPG IV fixed-form extended factor 2:

CL0N01Factor1+++++++Opcode&ExtExtended- factor2+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
C                   IF        field >= *ZERO OR field <= 999

RPG IV free-form:

/FREE

  if field >= *ZERO or field <= 999;

/END-FREE

NOTE: I transcribed your example code but I think you probably want to AND the clauses rather than OR them.

Simon Coulter.
