Re: Opnqryf Character to Numeric -- MIDRANGE-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

Consider the %DIGITS built-in function to convert the number to digits. Sign and decimal point are not included, so that might be a problem. There might also be leading zeroes, so check it out.

There are also several date-converson BIFs that can be useful - there are tricks using microseconds to convert character to numeric.

But can't numeric simply be recast as character? It's been a long, long time.

        I am running a query joining 2 files using opnqryf.  Problem is that
the key in one file is character and the key in the other is numeric.  A
keyword on a mapped field maybe?
