RE: Integer equivalent in CL

Hi Jeff

What version of the OS are you on? I believe that later versions of the
operating system have a field type of *INT that you can use, however if
you're using an older version of the operating system, e.g. V5R1, or before
then you can code the values as *CHAR with a length of 4 and use the %BIN
function to convert it to numeric. For example:

DCL VAR(&MYCHAR) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(4) VALUE(X'00000020')
DCL VAR(&MYNUM) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(4 0) VALUE(0)

CHGVAR VAR(&MYNUM) VALUE(%BIN(&MYCHAR))

Hope it helps

Jonathan

What is the CL equivalent for an RPG integer variable 10I 0?

I think this has been asked before, but I can't seem to find it.

Thanks in advance.
