Scott: Thanks for the very helpful reply. I am still trying to compile the Barbara's getnum example. Art Tostaine, Jr. CCA, Inc. Jackson, NJ 08527 -----Original Message----- From: owner-midrange-l@midrange.com [mailto:owner-midrange-l@midrange.com]On Behalf Of Scott Klement Sent: Friday, February 02, 2001 6:07 PM To: MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com Subject: Re: Code to move left justified alpha to numeric Hi Art, Parsing numeric values from character fields has been discussed extensively on the RPG400-L list, also at Midrange.com. The technique that I've used is to grab Barbara Morris' GetNum procedure, make a few minor modifications, and place it in a service program so that I can use it from any program on the system. You might consider doing the same thing. Other options for character to numeric conversion have also been discussed on RPG400-L. MI functions, C functions, etc can all be called from RPG IV.
