Re: Can we bind to CVTCN and CVTNC in RPG?


Thanks Vern and Mark,

I have 3 options I guess:

1) Use CVTEFN for char-to-numeric conversion and use QECCVTEC & QECED for numeric-to-char conversion
- Which I have working but just don't like it.

2) Build/Deconstruct my numeric values to/from HEX values and use cvtch/cvthc to convert to/from char

3) use %dec() and %char to convert char to/from a known numeric (63,p 30 say) and then use LBCPYNV to perform the conversion to/from the numeric of variable type/scale/precision

I think I prefer option 3 as it uses the least number of working parts.


BTW, this is so I can call a program using a prototype definition in XML (similar to PCML but with full datatype support). This will enable me to define and execute a call to a program within a running XMLi template.
Cheers

Larry Ducie
