Re: Character to Numeric can it be cleaned up

Bill,

Unfortunately, %DEC is not fully matured on V5R1 and only accept values known 
at compilte time (read: hard coded values). This BIF is therefore rather 
useless at this OS level.

And to think of it: this BIF (and its cousins) were developed to dump MOVE in 
/free. (sic!)

Regards,
Carel Teijgeler.

P.S. I am on V5R1 and discovered this the hard way, too.
