I have done this using the C library function itoa() pass in an integer value and a base (base 36 will give 0-9 and A-Z). You can search google for usage documentation.

Subject: The case of outnumbered numerator
Hello Pundits
We have a six digits numerator that approaches 899999.
Since it happens to be a CHAR field I would like to start using the
letters A-Z
in lexical order when incrementing this field so that incrementing
899999 will result in 9AAAAA , 9AAAAB , ......., 9AAAAZ, 9AAAA0, 9AAAA1 etc.
(This way the numerator will sort the EBCDIC natural way)
Do you know an *elegant* way of doing it ?
(EBCDIC table having "holes" of unprintable chars does not expedite matters)
Thanks
Gad
