I have a procedure that substrings bytes out of file records based on field types, sizes, location, etc defined in the system catalog. The target of the substring is a char field, of course. With other fields, I can do a movel into the proper data type, but Floating point is not allowed on the movel opcode. How can I get the data in the alpha field into a floating point field? Is there any way to "cast" the subst results into something other than an alpha field?
