RPG III

I am in the process of modifying an RPG III program that I am not permitted
to convert to ILE.

 

One of the fields is a 10 character field that only contains numeric numbers
and will never have more than seven digits..I know I could change the field
length to 7 but I was told no to that as well as it might blow up other
programs.

 

Here is the delimna, I need to move the value to a 7 digit numeric.  It is
possible that it can have anywhere from 1 to seven digits.

 

Example:

 

'116769    ' - Charcter value

 

I have a new field defined as 7,0

 

When I do a move on it it shows up as 1167690 and a movel gives me 7690000.

 

Suggestions? Hints?  Converting it is not an option.
