Re: RPG UDDS Generic File Display/Update (cvt numeric to binary

Hi

Thanks to Luis Buck and Jim on your replies for AS400 access.
Mark Waterbury set me up and I am slowly weeding out the bugs.

A PF can have B (binary) fields and I have managed to update them, but I have a question.
I needed to convert the numeric values on the display back to B on update.
I checked the archives but I cant find an answer, maybe my age showing.
I cant find any function that will do the cvt except for %bin in CL.
I coded this routine and it is working but limited to 15 character numerics.

Any suggestions welcome, but I am not sure I need the arithmetic base conversion calculator.

/* NUMERIC TO BINARY CONVERTER  */


PGM (&NUM  &BIN2  &BIN4 &BINTYP  )

DCL  VAR(&NUM) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(15 0)
DCL VAR(&BINTYP) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1)
DCL VAR(&BIN2) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(2)
DCL VAR(&BIN4) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(4)

IF (&BINTYP = '4') (CHGVAR %BIN(&BIN4) &NUM)
IF (&BINTYP = '2') (CHGVAR %BIN(&BIN2) &NUM)
ENDPGM
