RE: Editcode

But you can't EVAL a numeric to character or vice versa

Derek,

Everyone has been told to stop using MOVE and MOVEL a long time ago. If
for some reason you aren't going free-format, you should still be using
the EVAL opcode.

I would strongly suggest free-format (WDSC will convert for you) and look
at %dec or %int to convert from character.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

I have to move a value from a 10 character field to a 2 decimal

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)
What is the edit code that i can use to remove the trailing Zeros before i
move the character field to the numeric field.?

Thanks in advance

Derek
