RE: Code to move left justified alpha to numeric

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

If I put that in module GETNUM I get a compiler message:

RNF1504 30 a      010700  The subprocedure has already been defined.

Thanks.

Sounds like you're not exporting the procedure (to make it callable from
other modules)

To do this, add the "export" keyword to the P spec, like so:

p getnum          b                   EXPORT
