AHH!!

Now that looks like it'll work.  And, much cleaner than the Array method.

Wayne,  I didn't know that the CAT did a Right Justification?

Re: RPG III






You need a right-adjusted character field to move to your numeric field.
If the number of digits can vary, you will need to get the length of the 
string of digits first.  This code will do what you want:

 C           ' '       CHEKRVAR10     LEN     40 
 C           10        SUB  LEN       L       40 
 C                     CAT  VAR10:L   VAR10R 10 
 C                     MOVE VAR10R    VAR7    70

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.
