Re: Convert Character to Numeric

What about MI instruction CVTCN?

I recall, Bob Cozzi and the late G. Guthrie wrote a (sub)procedure that
uses this MI instruction. I cannot remember the exact wrking of this. Have
to look this up at work.

With regards,
Carel Teijgeler

I have a character field where the number of digits and decimal places

It appears that the %Dec BIF required a literal or a value that is known

What is the best way to do this?
