RE: Free Format TESTN?

["mlazarus@xxxxxxxx" <mlazarus@xxxxxxxx>]

Paul,

 Assuming that you really want to know if all of the characters in your
string are numeric and not the RPG definition of TESTN (see manual for
details), 

 IF   %Check( '0123456789': StringToCheck ) = 0  ;
    //  All numeric - do stuff
 ELSE  ;
    //  Run error routine
 ENDIF  ;

 Of course the digits string can be defined as a constant in the D specs,
etc.

A question just came up at our shop about the free format replacement for
TESTN.  Should we code a function to replace this opcode?  Is there some
comparable API?  Should we just monitor for a RPG error when using the
field?  What is your solution and what is IBM's recommended solution?
