     You could use the atof procedure available in the QC2LE binding 
     directory.
     
     This is an example prototype:
     
     
     dc2f              pr             8f   extproc('atof')       
     dstring                           *   value options(*string)

   It is called this way:

    eval      int=c2f(%trim(amount1))

   Where amount1 is a char field.

I have a little RPG challenge.
I get an 8 character string that has a number that may or may not have a 
decimal position.
Examples: 12345.78 or 123 or 1.23456, etc. 
I need to convert this to a number (10,5).
The way it was done in RPG prior was to move to an array and scan for the 
decimal, do a bunch of move, movels.
     
Is there a more elegant way to do this in ILE?
