Re: Editcode

Hi Derek,

ABC 10
xyz 2 0
I am doing a MOVEL operation to move this value to the numeric field.
Now if i have the value of ABC = 1, then the value passed on to XYZ is 10(Since it moves 1 from left, and initial value of XYZ is 00)

You're absolutely right. MOVEL is the wrong tool for the job. In fact, IMHO, MOVEL is an absolutely useless opcode.

In fixed format (I assume you're using fixed format, since MOVEL is considered deprecated, and wasn't added to free format!) you can do the following:

C eval xyz = %int(abc)
- or -
C eval xyz = %dec(abc: 2: 0)

You can do the same thing in /FREE, as well, by removing the C from column 6, and adding a semi-colon to the end.
