I prefer straight to end game by reading directly from the stream file.
- Much less I/O's
- Not the garsh awful overhead of CPYFRMIMPF (try running that under
STRDBG PGM(*NONE))
- Better granularity for handling exceptions
- The show stopper CCSID issues which seem to blow it up at every new
release.

However if you just have to avoid that since it's only been out for a few
decades then you may want to copy to an intermediate file with no numeric
columns. Then your RPG can do
// NbrText = "4,123.23"
NbrNbr=%scanrpl(',' : '' : NbrText);
// NbrNbr = "4123.23"
