Sensitivity:

Yes, the %INT, %DEC, etc. BIFs were enhanced at V5R2.

A V5R1 "fix" is to use the C-language atol function, (in the C Runtime
Library - part of OS/400 base) - or - use overlaying character/zoned
numerics in a Data Structure.

Of course, you can continue to use the infamous MOVE/MOVEL fixed-format
operations ... the subject of a different discussion <grin>.
