You're compiling to V5R1 or earlier?

Bingo.  Yes I am.

On V5R1 (or earlier) use atoi() or atoll() to convert alphanumeric to an integer. atoi() returns a 10I 0 (and therefore will give you a 10-character result in your equasion, like %int() would) and atoll() returns a 20I 0 integer -- which means it works with larger numbers, and will fill your 20A field if that's what you intended.

Here's an example:

H DFTACTGRP(*NO) BNDDIR('QC2LE')

D atoi            PR            10I 0 ExtProc('atoi')
D  string                         *   value options(*string)
  -- or --
D atoll           PR            20I 0 ExtProc('atoll')
D  string                         *   value options(*string)

D pa_infc15       s             20A
D wField4a        s              4A

c                   eval      pa_infc15 = %editc(atoi(wField4A):'X')
  -- or --
c                   eval      pa_infc15 = %editc(atoll(wField4A):'X')


These routines are part of the ILE C runtime, so you need BNDDIR(QC2LE) to use them (you'll notice that I have this on my H-spec).
