Hi all, One of our most curious programmers noticed that when he uses READ or READ INTO statement to parse alphanumeric data, a translation is made. The value passed is the arithmetic truncation of the string. For example a string 'FOW123' is passed with value '666123'. As you can see X'F1' =

Doubt the Read is involved. Look at the move code for this field generated by the complier. Pics? On Mon, 25 Aug 2008 08:26:19 -0600, Steve Comstock wrote: K Zafirop wrote: The value passed is the arithmetic truncation of the string. For example a string 'FOW123' is passed with value

As others have indicated, I (mostly) doubt that the READ (rather than READ INTO) is doing ANY manipulation of data. The one possible exception is if you have the 01-level under the FD defined as a numeric or edited field - and even then, I doubt that conversion takes place. (The other exception
