I was going to recommend the TESTN but, even though it can test for blanks, what you can do with that results is somewhat limited. And for the indicator phobic it will send them over the edge.

I am converting a spool file into a data base work file. I am reading the spooled file records and trying to convert edited numeric values into packed fields for storage. For example I have a value from the spool file that comes in as character 'bbbbb25.03' and I want to put this into a 9,2 packed field. I looked for RPGIV built in functions but could find none that seemed to do the job. Any suggestions on how to do this in a relatively simple way?
