Re: Beginner needs help w/ decimal field to text field

[John Hall <jhall@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jason take a half an hour and try this.

just use the CVTRPGSRC command on this program.  Use a different member

Look at the output - pretty similar just different columns.

Add in the editc line and you are done.

You don't have to change any other programs to RPG IV
