RE: Converting string containing packed decimal to numeric decimal

I'm thinking this should work (untested and unformatted)

D               DS
D ValStr                  4A
D ValInt                  9P 0

C             Eval   ValStr = PackedStr

(At this point, ValInt contains the integer value)

Is this what you were looking for?

Regards,

Jim Langston

Is there a quick way to a string containing packed decimal data into its
decimal equivalent, knowing the number of length and decimal positions?
