I have an alpha field which contains a packed number. The packed number is in HEX format as when Focus writes a packed field to a SAVB file. I want to load this value into a packed field. It doesn't look like any user subroutines can do this, and I don't see anything in Focus which does it.
The only solution I see is writing it to a file and using a master to read it back in. This seems very inefficient.
Does anyone have a better answer?

You can read the value as alpha field and use CHKPCK function to check the packed number.
