Hi all,

We have a file that is all in alphanumeric format, including imports. Example are like:

270.00- (16 positions)

We need to load a focus file, wich in the master, those imports are like P16.2. Note the sign is on the right.

So, in the modify I have a COMPUTE like:

QTY_AMNOAC/P17.2 = IF S2 EQ '-' THEN (-1)*EDIT(TC2) ELSE EDIT(TC2);

Where QTY_AMNOAC is the fieldname in the master. S2 and TC2 are temporary fields created in the MODIFY to read the values in the file, like this:

FIXFORM TC2/15 S2/1

Something must be wrong, because is always returning bad values, example:

10000.00 + is returning ,00.
99999999999.99 + is also returning ,00.

Any thoughts about it?

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

Hi Ruben:

This code works for me:

MODIFY FILE CAR
COMPUTE TC2/A15 = ;
COMPUTE S2/A1   = ;
FIXFORM TC2/15 S2/1

-* EDIT
COMPUTE QTY_AMNOAC1/P17.2 = IF S2 EQ '-' THEN (-1)*EDIT(TC2) ELSE EDIT(TC2);

-* ATODBL.
COMPUTE SIGN/P2 = IF S2 EQ '-' THEN -1 ELSE 1 ;
COMPUTE QTY_AMNOAC2/P17.2 = ATODBL(TC2, '15', 'D15.2') * SIGN ;

-* Output display.
TYPE "------------------------------"
TYPE "TC2........: <TC2 "
TYPE "S2.........: <S2 "
TYPE "QTY_AMNOAC1: <QTY_AMNOAC1 "
TYPE "QTY_AMNOAC2: <QTY_AMNOAC2 "
GOTO TOP
DATA
         270.00-
       10000.00+
123456789012.34-
END
-RUN



The output is:

------------------------------
TC2........:          270.00 
S2.........: - 
QTY_AMNOAC1:           -270.00 
QTY_AMNOAC2:           -270.00 
------------------------------
TC2........:        10000.00 
S2.........: + 
QTY_AMNOAC1:          10000.00 
QTY_AMNOAC2:          10000.00 
------------------------------
TC2........: 123456789012.34 
S2.........: - 
QTY_AMNOAC1:  -123456789012.34 
QTY_AMNOAC2:  -123456789012.34


Regards
Mikel

EDIT still seems not to work, but ATODBL did the trick, and its converting all the fields correctly.

Thank you Mikel!

May I ask why you do not convert the text to a packed number with the master file, then the EDIT is not needed.
