Jerry, As Hans pointed out strtol (or strtoll for larger numbers) converts from binary notation 101101 to decimal, but did you ever find a way to go backwards? I have an old RPGIII grunt method technique that I've been using for 10 years, but I'd rather find a simpler method. Just wondering.

For conversion of numbers in base 2 to decimal, try the C run-time library function "strtol()". Here's an example: ------------------------------------------------------------------ H dftactgrp(*no) bnddir('QC2LE') D strtol pr 10i 0 extproc('strtol') D nptr * value options(*string) D endptr * value D base 10i 0 value D ptr s * /free dsply (strtol('1': %addr(ptr): 2)); dsply (strtol('10': %addr(ptr): 2)); dsply (strtol('11': %addr(ptr): 2)); dsply (strtol('100': %addr(ptr): 2)); dsply (strtol('10010101': %addr(ptr): 2)); *inlr = *on; /end-free ------------------------------------------------------------------ Cheers!
