Re: Numeric to character conversion in RPGIII

What about something like this:

Define a single character array with as many elements as the alpha field is long. Move the alpha field into the array. (Is that opcode MOVEA?)
Then loop through the array one element at a time. If the character is zero, change it to blank, else you are done, bail out.
Move the corrected array back into the alpha field

Its been a while so I may not have it perfect, but something like this should work.

Hello,
Is there a way to suppress leading zeros while moving a numeric field
to an alpha field in RPGIII (both fields have same length).
Unfortunately my shop uses RPGIII and is loathe to convert to RPG1V.
Please help
Thanks,
