Our compiler is not supporting NUMVAL function. Is there any way, to convert Alphanumeric to COMP-3 value?

Do you know what non numeric charactars may be present in the alpha variable?
If only spaces and numbers are there then, using inspect replace spaces by zeros and move that to numeric variable. If it is more complex situation then we need to here more from you.

Hello,

Please post the source statement(s) and compiler output that shows the error(s). Also please post the info in the compiled output that shows which compiler you are using.

Then, please post some sample data and what you want done with it. The data needs to show the different "patterns" your input might contain.

Hello,

Maybe you can try the following:

IF ALPHA-NUMERIC-VAR IS NUMERIC
MOVE ALPHA-NUMERIC-VAR TO COMP3-VAR
END-IF

If this does not work try...

IF ALPHA-NUMERIC-VAR IS NUMERIC
MOVE ALPHA-NUMERIC-VAR TO NUMERIC-VAR
MOVE NUMERIC-VAR TO COMP3-VAR
END-IF
