Re: [V4, positional]: Converting decimal to string without leading zeros

I suspect that the fact that you are using MOVE is what made John (and I) think that you were using RPG III.

MOVE was supported in the original RPG IV but was only there for compatibility and was discouraged in favor of EVAL. It has been basically deprecated since way back when /Free first came in 15+ years ago (V5?) and MOVE was deliberately not supported.

Well, the %CHAR suggestion may not apply to you, given it's a built-in function for RPG IV.

I think the way to do it in old versions of RPG is to just loop through each character and replace each leading zero with a blank.

Are you maybe confusing RPG III (being solely positional) with positional RPG (as in RPG IV), being positional in V4, but starting with V5 allowed C statements being allowed in /free?

:wq! PoC
