This was just answered today on the RPG400 list: 1) One method, if you are absolutely sure that the parameter coming in is numeric you can define the parameter as zoned and the same size and you shouldn't have a problem. Otherwise, I've copied the email below: >Am I trying to do something that isn't do-able in free-format RPG? > >I have a four character year parameter (being passed from an old PL/I >program) into my new RPGLE program. I want to move it to a four numeric >field for manipulation. What is the best way to do this? Try using the C Procedure "atoi". I don't know C but found it very easy to use anyway. H BndDir( 'QC2LE' ) D atoi pr 10i 0 ExtProc('atoi') D atoichar * value options(*string) D year_4a s 4a D year_4p0 s 4p 0 /free year_4p0 = atoi(year_4a); /end-free Kind regards, Seth Shields Julius Blum Inc.
