Does this exist? I need an easy way to check if the value that was passed in from a CL is a valid number. Because of they don't pass the number in as three chars(ie '060', '040', etc) RPG pulls the values as junk. There is no way for the CL to pass me a number and get it correctly in the RPG. So I want to be able to monitor for the developer sending the value in the right format.

I hate TESTN.

What I do is:

CODE

        If %CHECK('0123456789':Char_Field) = 0;
           // the character field is all numeric.
        Else;
           // there are non-numeric characters in the character field
        Endif;

Solum potestis prohibere ignes silvarum.

When I want to test for numeric I do
monitor
numfield = %decimal(charfield:8:0)
on-error
...  send msg or whatever
end-mon

it ignores blanks and aligns decimals automatically.

Arrow483,

Isn't that %dec, not %decimal?

of course, I am doing just a little too much SQL.
