Re: Convert Character to Numeric

As long as you have the data in human readable form as you indicate, I
like the atof function.

(specifications not aligned properly here... you'll get the idea)

D atof PR 8F extproc('atof')
D stringIn * value options(*string)

D myvalue S 9P 5

/Free
myvalue = atof('12345.678') ;
/End-free
