Well, Bob, I have to admit that I went to your book to refresh my memory about CAT, which I haven't used in years. You've forgotten more about RPG than I'll ever know.

Doug,

I don't think the SUBST will work as it's still going into a 10a field (COPITM). I think you'll have to use the array and loop method, or the call to an RPGIV program method. I use to have this issue quite a bit.

Bob, I tried this and I ended up getting the following value: 7690000

Here is the code exactly as it was entered:

1440 C *LIKE DEFN OOPINO COPITM 1441 C ' ' CHEKROOPINO LEN 70 1442 C LEN SUBSTOOPINO:1 COPITM 1443 C MOVE COPITM XOPITM 70

OOPINO is the existing 10 character text field and XOPITM is the defined
numeric.

How about this:

      **  Right justify a value in a field in RPGIII
     C           *LIKE     DEFN TEXTA     TEXTB
     C           ' '       CHEKRTEXTA     LEN     70
     C           LEN       SUBSTTEXTA:1   TEXTB
     C                     MOVE TEXTB     NUMFLD

Subject: 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.

Douglas
