P.S.And of course once you apply the option you can change the DS definition to numeric.

Or keep it character and just use %Dec without the %Xlate

Using XML-INTO... it's been a long time.

I have an XML document where they representing the quantity like
<quantity>2,499</quantity>

Pulling my hair out getting that into a numeric field... finally ended up with

Number = %dec(%xlate(',':' ':quantity(x)):6:0)

Just curious if there isn't a better way?
