RE: v5r2 %dec using character argument causing RNQ0105

Probably a matter of preference or maybe need.  I don't receive a lot of
numbers with editing so using the V5R2 BIF's work fine.  I hadn't seen
Barbara's procedure until today and really haven't applied a lot of thought
to which I would do in a situation where I had to contend with editing.  For
simplicity I would probably do as you have done.

Buck, Rick,

Seeing as I'm at v5r2, I am unclear as to why Barbara's procedure might be a
better solution for
this.  I threw in the %xlate to strip out the commas per the example in the
reference, and it
works fine now.  Does Barbara's procedure do something more or better?

Buck, I appended the v5r2 solution to that FAQ.  Is there a way I can edit
my submission?  (There
are no line breaks in my paragraphs, something I assumed the FAQ-O-Matic
would handle
automagically.)
