Re: parse a negative number out of a before image string

oops sorry, actually my negative value is stored in the string as '002632J'
not as '002632J0'...

where is my 1 represented in this string version???

so i have string in my sqlrpgle that was produced from a trigger that

for reference as such... '121200000002632J07182016 '

My negative value is 002632J0, (defined 7,2) which in the table shows
263.21-

Assuming I can "acquire" that string from the before image string, once I
have it in a host variable, how do I convert it to a proper string showing
'-263.21'?
