Dave Odom was RE: Mark Allen, were you the one that's trying

Steve,
 
Sorry I didn't respond quickly; had to go do some other work at another
location.   On to sending numerics to DB2/400 via .ASP...
 
If I understand what you're doing, here are two small examples of what
I have done to pass numerics both to validate a numeric and INSERT a
numeric.  In both cases, I'm using SQL.  The first example passing
dynamic SQL, the second example using a stored procedure to do the
INSERT but passing the numeric to it, which, to me, is what you were
talking about:
 
***********************  Inquiry passing a Numeric

  ' Session("Cycle") = trim(request.form("Cycle"))
  Session("Zip") = trim(request.form("Zipcode"))
  Session("Email") = trim(request.form("email"))
  Session("VEmail") = trim(request.form("verifyemail"))
 
  Dim intPosition
  intPosition = Instr(Session("Account"), "-")
  Session("CID") = CLng(Left(Session("Account"),intPosition-1))
  Session("LID") =
CLng(Right(Session("Account"),Len(Session("Account"))-intPosition))
 
 
  '***************************************

  If Session("ErrorCnt")="" then
    Session("ErrorCnt") = 0
  End If

  objRS.Open strSQL, objConn
 
  if not objRS.EOF then
    objRS.Close
    Set objRS = Nothing
    objConn.Close
    Set objConn=Nothing
    Response.Redirect "Enroll.asp?Inactive=True"
