RE: Code to move left justified alpha to numeric

["Art Tostaine, Jr." <art@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Now, I always hate to post problems I run into when dealing with ILE
(because I'm not too cool with it), but when I run this:

First I did a CRTRPGMOD on both GETNUM and GETNUM_T and they finished OK.

Then I tried this:

CRTPGM PGM(GETNUM_T) MODULE(GETNUM_T GETNUM)

I get this:

Message ID . . . . . . :   CPD5D02       Severity . . . . . . . :   30
Message type . . . . . :   Diagnostic
Date sent  . . . . . . :   02/06/01      Time sent  . . . . . . :   20:59:56

Message . . . . :   Definition not found for symbol 'GETNUM'.
Cause . . . . . :   No definition was found for reference GETNUM in *MODULE
  object GETNUM_T in library CCALIB. The definition either does not exist or
  is not of the same data or procedure type as the reference.
Recovery  . . . :   Try the Create Program (CRTPGM) command again, supplying
  an object that contains a definition for symbol GETNUM.

If you get stuck, let me know and I'll try to help.  (and let me know why
it won't compile -- what error message, etc)
