Ron,

The %check could be checked as follows:

D Digits                c       '0123456789'

c               if     %c       heck(field1:0) = 0
c               exsr    donormal
c               else
c               exsr  exception
c           endif

Thanks,
Sudha

So,
how would you test that field to see if it is numeric then?

Do yourself a favor and forget you ever heard of TESTN.  Some letters
are
considered numeric by TESTN.  I suspect that %INT is not as generous.

     ?* is the transaction type code numeric?
     c                   evalr     pay_type_test = paytyp 
     c                   testn                   pay_type_test
99
     c                   if        *in99
     c                   eval      sctax# = %int(paytyp) 
     c                   else
     c                   eval      msgdata = 'Invalid Transaction Type 
Code'

This is supposed to be working, but a user got the RNX0105 error stating
that the eval sctax# = %int(paytyp)
a character representation of a numeric value is in error.
