Re: trimming non-numerics

Hans,

 Why do you say the using %Xlate / %Replace is overkill?  Is it performance
you're concerned with?  It would be fewer statements (either one or two)
and doesn't reduce legibility, IMHO.

 Obviously, if there are other, unexpected, characters to strip out of the
source string, then that's a different story.  But that did not seem to be
the case here.


As an aside, the statement:

        if '0' <= %subst(source:i:1) and %subst(source:i:1) <= '9';
 should read:
        if '0' >= %subst(source:i:1) and %subst(source:i:1) <= '9';



No, this time I actually tested the code I posted. I first had it coded as per your recommendation, but that didn't work.

Cheers! Hans
