Re: eval from numeric to alpha?

[Hoteltravelfundotcom <hoteltravelfun@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi I am trying to 'piggyback' in a program. The current program
allows the user to unlock a record in 2 different files.
We have now a third as well. But the key to the third file is 10pos alpha
but looking at this, it's an order number.

The DSPF that accepts order number for the other 2 files is 12 00.

Do I have a chance to use this program as is, or must I make a new entry
field for this 3rd file that would be 10 alpha. In terms of there being
actual alpha characters I am not that concerned as this could just give a
message, it's better than the current situation where the user makes a help
desk ticket, we have to get it and go and update.
