Thanks Carel T Bill Hopkins "Carel Teijgeler" <coteijgeler@xxxxxxxxx> Sent by: rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx 08/14/2003 01:37 PM Please respond to RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries To: rpg400-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx cc: Subject: 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. *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 14-8-03 at 11:49 Bill Hopkins wrote: >I was wondering if can I do this on v5r1 or am I stuck with 'C' functions >and procedures (that do 50 times more than I need on this). > >Eval CHAR1 = %editc((%dec(CHAR1) + NUM1):'4') > >Just wanted to add a number to a character field with a number in it and >no decimals in it's value.
