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


If you want to know whether the string contains only digits, you can use %CHECK.

if %check('0123456789' : %trim(string)) > 0;
dsply 'not all numeric';
else;
dsply 'all numeric';
endif;
