We have a size field (alph) that is 10 characters long. Data has been
entered like '123-098'or '12345-987'. This file and field has been in
production for over 30 years. Being free form, you have no idea what
has been entered. In fact I have found the following entered 'not to
big' in the size field!
What I need to do is scan the size field for an '-'. Then do a move
specifying the starting and ending field position in to a new numeric
field.
The scan I have got down. What I am having problems with is the 'move'.
How do I move from the size field into to new size field with a starting
and ending position?
Thanks in advance for any and all suggesting and examples.
