Re: Need to Scrub/Convert Alpha to Numeric - Unique Situation







This is a FAQ!

http://faq.midrange.com/index.pl?file=52

The FAQ should lead you to write code like this:

     c                   eval      input = '5.034A'
     c                   eval      output =
     c                                %dec( %xlate('Aa':'  ':input): 9: 4)
