Re: [Easy400Group] Suggestions for C2N2 subprocedure

[Mel Rothman]

For everyone's information, C2N2 is based on Barbara Morris's GETNUM routine. As commented in C2N2's prototype: * Prototype for c2n2 subprocedure ... * Adapted from getnum subprocedure, written by Barbara Morris, * IBM Toronto laboratory.

Jon may be thinking about converting a date-type field (or time, or timestamp) since that ability isn't available until V5R3.  Converting character to decimal is available in V5R2, though For older releases, use the GETNUM routine written by Barbara Morris of IBM Toronto.  It works very similarly to %dec(), and outperforms just about every alternative.   http://faq.midrange.com/data/cache/52.html SPONSORED LINKS How to format a computer hard drive Cobol programmer Iseries 400 How to format a computer YAHOO!
