Jeff,
There are two recent threads that relate to this topic. They should be in the archives. One is cvthc not converting all values. I deleted the other thread from my folder so I can't get the topic for you right now.
How is the data you are receiving formatted? Signed, packed? I know it's in a character field, I'm looking for the representation.
Rick

Subject: 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?
Thanks,
Jeff Young
