I was wondering if anyone had an easy way to convert from numeric data types to character types and back. I have a data structure that contains alpha, packed, and binary fields. It gets moved into a long alpha field and passed to another program. Instead of reading the long alpha field into back into the data structure, I would like to substring out the variables and move them to hold fields. When I substring out the binary (4 positions in the buffer) to a 4 alpha field and try to move it to a 9b 0 field, my program blows up. The hex values of the fields are the same, so it makes me wonder why RPG won't do the conversion. Thanks, Andy
