I have a character field where the number of digits and decimal places is stored 
in a file.
I need to convert this to a fixed length numeric field that is defined in my 
program.
It appears that the %Dec BIF required a literal or a value that is known at 
compile time.
What is the best way to do this?
Thanks,
