Re: Is a string numeric

TESTN usually doesn't work like you think it does.

It's designed for testing ZONE'd fields, so is perfectly fine with an
X'D1'...
Thus '123J` would pass.

How about the old (ancient) RPG TESTN op code?

Hi everyone
We are on V7r3
Current on all ptf's and TFR's(?)
I may not be remembering this correctly - but wasn't there something
recently released , for SQL and/or RPG, that could be used to determine

if

a string is numeric?
I do already have a method but if my memory is correct, would like to use
that new bif/command

If my memory is failing me (no surprise there), then I will resort to

what

I have used in the past

As always - all replies gratefully accepted
