Re: Variable numeric input length

Why an array process?  Have you considered using something like  "eval
FieldLength = %len(%trim(testfield))"  or even the %dec bif?

Subject: Variable numeric input length
 
Hello gang...
 
   I have the task of stripping a numeric field from a record , the length
of the field is either
   6, or 7 or 8 or 9 or 10 numeric digits in length
 
   The SDA/greenscreen field entries, (unlike input boxes , and internal
field definitions in applications
   like VB), generally specify a specific length for the field
 
   Does anyone have the code snippet to handle this type of variable input?,
obviously an array process.
 
If so, please fire it to me offline at
 
kenshields@xxxxxxx
 
TIA
