| How about checking each byte value against 0-9 and move if true else skip till end of field or space? Also observed that the subject line is contradicting what you want. |

| Will there be any numerics within the "text" part of the string? If so, are these to be extracted as well? If they exist and are not to be extracted then Rohit's solution would not work. Surely you can work out the logic to find the first and last digit so that you can then extract the numerics? As Peter Holland wrote - what have you tried? |

Hi,
If there is not going to be any numeric in text part, then u can check at what instance of length you are getting first numeric and then use reference modification
Thanks ,

Hi Jan,
Please try using the function NUMVAL-C.
| Code: |
MOVE FUNCTION(NUMVAL-C(WS-STR)) TO WS-STR1.
|
Thanks,
Murali |

How is that going to drop the alpha characters? Numval-c works on numeric data with a possible currency sign and editing characters. |
