Douglas,

At that specific OS release you cannot use variables to convert.

The value to convert had to be known at compile time, so constants and
literals are acceptable, not database field names or derived variables from
that. In short: limited and therefore useless, IMHO.

It got this functionality at V5R2.

Regards,
Carel Teijgeler

Is anyone aware of any issues using this function on a machine with an OS
