RE: converting string to a numeric

Not necessarily.  I've had occasion to concatenate character data to numeric
and to use pieces of numbers for various reasons.  It would be very helpful
if %CHAR had an option to not remove leading zeros.  I could eliminate a lot
of MOVE, MOVEL, and data structures if it did.

I have to back Hans up on this one, sub stringing numbers is ludicrous.
