Re: Convert Character to Numeric

I have a character field where the number of digits and decimal places is stored in a file.
I need to convert this to a fixed length numeric field that is defined in my program.
It appears that the %Dec BIF required a literal or a value that is known at compile time.
What is the best way to do this?

Why not use that information to place your number into a zeroed-out zoned decimal field?
