Re: Numval intrinsic function -- COBOL400-L

Did you tried it with a value of "25,25" then you know where to search for...

No SPECIAL-NAMES in this testpgm. I wanted a 'basic' testing of this.

Hi,

Maybe the special-names, decimal-point is comma?

Onderwerp: [COBOL400-L] Numval intrinsic function

Hi.

I do have problems getting the 'Numval' function to work properly when handling numeric output:

05 ws-a pic x(5) value '25.33'.
05 ws-b pic 9(5)v99 value zero. (I have also tested 'computational and Comp-3, no difference)

compute ws-b = function numval(ws-a). (WS-B = 00025.00)
compute ws-b = function numval-c(ws-a). (WS-B = 00025.00)

I loose the decimals???

What am I doing wrong? Should be dead simple, this...

I'm running V5R4(old - yes)

Regards

Geir Kildal
