Hello Mohamed

There is a way to convert numeric to alfanumeric if you are using rpg/400.
Use the IBM supplied API  QECCVTEC (Convert  Edit Code) or QECCVTEW
(Convert Edit Word)

Hello

I have a Numeric Field of Length 11,3 which has  value -800.00 (Negative
800). I want to move this to a character field of  length 11 which should
have value
as  -800.00 only.  But when  I move to character field it goes as
00000800000}.

Is there any way  by which I can get the result as expected? (I don't want
to
use  CAT/SUBST/CHECK operations)

Thanks in advance

Regards
Mohamed Noorul Ameen K
