RE: Moving Char field to Numeric field right justified

%DEC only works if the value is pretty clean; otherwise, you get a runtime
error message. Even leading blanks can cause a problem with %DEC.

   Is that because of the ((( at the end of the char field, or because of
   something else?  I have use %DEC before in situations similar to
   this(minus the (((  ) without issue maybe I have just been lucky and need
   to change my code :-[ .

 The %DEC built-in function will blow up on this conversion. Do not use it
 for that. But if you are on V5R2, you could use %INT instead of atoll() as

 suggested earlier, but still do the %SUBST and CHECK opcodes first.

 Take a look at the %DEC built in Function for RPG IV available on V5R2
 it does exactly what you need, hope this helps.  There are other BIFs
 for this type of move as well checkout the IBMs site(iSeries Information
 Center - don't have the link sorry).

 Hi

 Can anybody suggest me the way to move a Char field (9 length) with numeric
 data to Numeric field (9 length) right justified?

 e.g.

 Input field
 '123456((('

 Output expected
 000123456

 Since output field is numeric, it will not show leading zeros. Using
    

 arrays,
  

 I moved the data in a numeric array but array does not allow me to move it
 to a numeric field directly. E.g. MOVEA array numfld.

 Please help.
