Check this link to a Previous Post. I think this will explain what is happening. If you still have questions, please come back. |

Hello Jordi,
When you moved '76 ' (notice the blank) the space was converted to a zero in the result. The system was trying to do what it thought you wanted.
I'd suggest checking the sending field before doing the move and doing whatever is necessary for your situation. You might treat this as an error, you might replace any spaces with zeros, or you might write code to use only the digits provided (after making sure that the field contains no alpha characters). |

then, you suggest to handle the problem as an error checking positions and doing whateber necessary dpending on situation.
can be a solution but I was thinking in a general solution ...

Jordi,
Try this:
COMPUTE B-CA-100 = FUNCTION NUMVAL (WS-CA-100) |

========================================
ANSWER:
1] IN ALPHANUMERIS THE DATA IS STORED FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND REMAINING CHARACTER FILL BY SPACES
2] AND IN NUMERIC FIELD THE DATA IS STORED FROM RIGHT TO LEFT
AND REMAINING PLACES ARE FILLED BY ZEROS
SO IN YOUR MOVE YOU MOVE ALPHANUMERIC TO NUMERIC
SO DATA STORED FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND AND ONE FIELD IS REMAIN BY ZERO BECAUSE YOU MOVE INTO NUMERIC CLAUSE
SURE!

Numeric fields are stored aligned to the decimal point and zero filled both left and right.
