Re: Convert Character to Numeric

Okay, in that case it sounds like I've already answered your question. %DEC() should do exactly what you want. You don't need to use variables for the length/decpos for what you are doing.

The data is in a character field in the format 12345.6789 with the
decimal point included. I have another file that contains the number
of digits and decimal places for the field. I need to get this into a
numeric field for processing. Since the %DEC bif required that the
length and decimal values be known at compile time, I am looking for
an alternate method.
