RE: Moving Char field to Numeric field right justified

Here's another copy of the source, but I've now commented it.

      **  Convert Character to Numeric in RPGIII :(
      **  To use, set the value of FLDLEN equal to
      **  the length of the character variable that
      **  contains your numeric data. in this example,
      **  I use the MYFLD field to store the text form
      **  of the numeric value. I've initialized it also,
      **  obviously in a real-world situation, that 
      **  initial value would not be there, but rather 
      **  it would use your runtime value.

      ** The following data structure contains all the
      ** work fields I used in this example. In a real
      ** world situation, these fields may be declared
      ** in a similar data structure but the MYFLD field
      ** would be replaced with the actual name of the 
      ** character field that contains the numeric data, 
      ** and it would not be part of this data structure.
      ** In addition, the target field, NUMVAL in this
      ** example, would also be a stand-alone field that
      ** was probably declared elsewhere in the code.
