I stand corrected was RE: Editcode.

Oh, having read the other posts I stand corrected, however I don't seem to
recall anyone telling me NOT to use MOVE or MOVEL, you still need MOVE
occasionally. Also as I keep saying we dont all have the good fortune to only
write new programs, some of us have to work on old RPGIII or even RPGII
programs and we cannot always just convert to RPGIV, fact of life really. So we
still NEED to know how to use those darned old-fashioned things.

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
