VARPG - Can I use atoi?

I have a, seemingly, fairly simple problem, convert an alpha field to
numeric.

My Alpha Field comes out like '89        '
I need to convert this to numeric, atoi or even atof would be the way to do
it, and would be the solution on the AS/400.

Do we have QCTOLE in VARPG?  It looks like I'm going to have to write some
complex numeric parser to do this since it's left justified and I don't seem
to have atoi in VA-RPG.

When in the heck is IBM going to write a simple %Val or %Value BIF so we
don't have this problem?

Regards,

Jim Langston
