Hi All,

Is it possible to bind to CVTCN and CVTNC in a RPG program?

I understand that they are MI functions but QC2UTIL1 exports a version of CVTHC (cvthc) and CVTCH (cvtch) and CVTEFN is available to RPG as _CVTEFN.

Does anybody know if it is possible to access CVTCN and CVTNC from RPG? The API finder offers a multitude of APIs and it can be a challenge to find out which are offered by the system, which are offered as part of the C runtime libraries (and therefore available to ILE RPG) and which are MI functions that are not directly accessible to RPG.

Cheers

Larry Ducie
