Re: Can we bind to CVTCN and CVTNC in RPG?

Unless, of course, the builtin is NOT usable - Mark's reply led me to 
look again - I see some that do not have bound program access sections, 
but they are still usable - maybe they are exposed through the service 
program. Haven't investigated this thoroughly, no time.

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.
