Re: parsing a numeric field

[Jim Langston <jimlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Of course, me not liking overflow at all, I would do it the hard
way.  Something like (pseudo code, don't feel like looking up the
bifs right now, specifically, how to get the integer portion of a
number).

D Amt       S          7P  2
D Dollars   S          5P  0
D Cents     S          2P  2

C           Eval    Amt = 10004.27

C           Eval    Dollars = %Int(Amt)
C           Eval    Cents = Amt - Dollars
