Re: RPG III -- RPG400-L

It doesn't normally but what you're concatenating is the result fieldVAR10R (all blanks) with VAR10 ('116769 '). With the blanks extenderspecified (variable L with a value of 4), you wind up with four leadingblanks in VAR10R (' 116769') and that works with the MOVE.

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 thestring of digits first. This code will do what you want:
C ' ' CHEKRVAR10 LEN 40C 10 SUB LEN L 40C CAT VAR10:L VAR10R 10C MOVE VAR10R VAR7 70

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.
