Re: Validate Numeric Data

Since there are no invalid combinations for integer data, I suppose your only "validity test" possibility for that would be a range check, if applicable. (For example, if the value is never supposed to be greater than X or less than Y... or whatever.

For signed/packed: take a look at TESTN in the RPG reference manual. Does that help?

Given a pointer and size, is there a way to find out if the data at
that address is valid numeric data? Could be packed or zoned and I
suppose integer also.
