Maximum value using move

Re: Maximum value using move

good to know. i think i want to start programming in free, but the other two guys in the office only code in fixed format, and the one will NEVER change.

Just tell your co-workers that America is the "Land of the Free" and if they still ague ask to see their green cards

Re: Maximum value using move

move *all'0' myfield


I think that is right. its along the lines of what jamie is talkin about. but his won't work as is in RPG III. that is a /free way of doing it.

I am correct right? /free is only ILE?

You are correct that /free is only allowed in RPG-IV (aka RPG-ILE). However, the MOVE command will work in fixed-format. MOVE is not allowed in free-format

bigstring = *all'0';

eval somefield = *HIVAL


eval somefield = *LOVAL

Re: Maximum value using move

Thanks, can i use EVAL eventhough my rpg program is an RPG III ?

I will use zeros for one field and '999999999' for another one.

Re: Maximum value using move

are you just going to move all zeros? if so then you can do this...

MOVE *ZEROS MYFIELD


you can also do this...

EVAL MYFIELD = 'STRING TEXT HERE'

or

EVAL MYFIELD = *ZEROS

Hello,

I want to do something like this:

MOVE '0000000000000000' MYFIELD

But the Move command only lets me write '00000000'... how can i do this?
