Hi,

What is the built in function for checking a variable numeric or not in pL1,
Is isnumeric(in Cobol) works here?

I think we have to Use Verify Command.

For eg if u want to check the Content of VAR_1 is Numeric or Not,Then

Verify (VAR_1,'0123456789') = 0

If the VAR_1 is Numeric then value after this verify will return '0'
