RE: Convert Binary to Decimal

certain point contains a binary value...like x'08'. I need to convert
that
to decimal. I want a variable to have the value 8. I was playing around
with
a DS and overlaying an alpha and binary field, but it doesn't seem very
flexible. What's a non-SQL way of doing this in ILE. Thanks.

D MyDS DS
D charField 1
D unsigned 3U 0 Overlay(charField)
D signed 3I 0 Overlay(charField)

/Free
charField = x'08' ;
// At this point, signed = 8 and unsigned = 8
charField = x'FF' ;
// At this poinnt, signed = -1 and unsigned = 255.
