I completely agree with Brian on this.
If it is really common for you to have strings of digits that you want
to interpret as values with decimal places, then write a procedure like
this, that returns some size of packed value that will handle all your
needs, say a 63,15 packed value:
getDecVal(string : number_of_decimals);
Input: '12345' 2 Returns: 123.45
Input: '1234N' 3 Returns: -12.345
It might not be particularly easy to write, but once it is written, you
are done forever, and your code will be much clearer than it would have
been with the MOVE opcode.
rate = %getDecVal(char7 : 2);
