RE: Character to Numeric can it be cleaned up

In that case, how about something like this?  

D                 DS
D FXQS                          70A  Dim(36)
D  FXQS01                            Overlay(FXQS:1)
D  FXQS02                            Overlay(FXQS:*next)
    .
    .
    .
D   FXQS36                           Overlay(FXQS:*next)

D                 DS
D SSQS                          15S 0Dim(12)
D  SSQS01                           Overlay(SSQS:1)
D  SSQS02                           Overlay(SSQS:*next)
    .
    .
    .
D  SSQS36                           Overlay(SSQS:*next)


D                 DS
D  WQTY                   1     15A
D  WQTYN                  1     15S 0


D  x              S              5U 0

              Eval      x = 0
              DoW       x < 12 
              Eval      x = x + 1
              Clear                   WQTY
              EvalR     WQTY = %trimr(FXQS(x))
' ':'0'       Xlate     WQTY          WQTY
              Eval      WQTYN = WQTYN + SSQS(X)
              Eval      FXQS(x) = %triml(%editc(WQTYN:'4'))
              EndDo
     
or something along those lines.  I don't remember if you can now do a For -
EndFor in normal RPG.  If so, that would probably be more appropriate than
the DoW that I have here.
