Re: Extract number from character field

["End of the Trail" <endofthetrail@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A quick answer to point you in the right direction.  You will have to work
out the details.  Using RPG 4 (ILE); Eval to a new variable using %scan and
%substring to extract.  If the number you are looking for is in one
location; it is pretty easy.
