RE: _itoa revisited

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

2 underscores?  Arg, didn't' try that one.  Tried _itoa and itoa.

Got irritated and switched it to the old style data structure
D              DS
D SpoolNumber           10S 0
D SpoolNumberAlp        10A

which works, of course, but just isn't the latest and greatest.

Someone mentioned %char.  I was looking through the BIFs, didn't
notice that one, but I knew it existed.  Guess I'll use %char
next time this comes up (in a few days).

Thanks,

Jim Langston

Further to my mail the other day when I couldn't find the '_itoa'
function, if you look at service program QC2UTIL2 it's actually called
'__itoa', i.e. with 2 '_'.

Declare the prototype as follows:-

D itoa            PR              *   ExtProc('__itoa')
D  int                          10U 0 Value
D  buf                            *   Options( *String ) Value
D  rdx                          10U 0 Value

I have two comments:

   1)  Shouldn't it be ExtProc('itoa') without the "_"?
   2)  Why not just use %EditC, %EditW or %Char?  That's almost
          certain to be easier for the next guy to figure out...
