Re: Validate Numeric Data

Yes.

If you have size, you can check for valid packed data by checking the last
character. Signed (zoned) data is also easy, since you're just checking for
'0' through '9'. Integer data - who knows?

Under what circumstances would you use this?

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.
