Re: Numeric to character conversion in RPGIII

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What about something like this:

Define a single character array with as many elements as the alpha field 
is long. 
Move the alpha field into the array. (Is that opcode MOVEA?)
Then loop through the array one element at a time. 
If the character is zero, change it to blank, else you are done, bail out.
Move the corrected array back into the alpha field

Its been a while so I may not have it perfect, but something like this 
should work.
