[SOLVED] Alphanumeric to numeric

Hai

I have a field called IBAN, alphanumeric 18
This is the value 'NL38RABO0192345678'
I want the numeric part 0192345678, so I want a numeric 10 field, preferably packed 11, P11

So i used these functions in transformation in Datamigrator. In the GUI.

TO_NUMBER(EDIT(SUB_REK_ID,'$$$$$$$$9999999999'))
But then the system says: EXTERNAL FUNCTION OR LOAD MODULE NOT FOUND: TO_NUMBER

DB_EXPR(CAST(SUBSTR(SUB_REK_ID,9,10) AS DECIMAL (10,0)))
This one stays red, so not accepted

How can I transform this field in the Source Transforms Calculator in DataMigrator?

Regards
Ron

How exactly do you us it (complete code if possible) ?
Are you sure that's it always start at the ninth digits ?

Because the following does work in a regular report
DEFINE FILE GGSALES
NUM_CD /I3 = TO_NUMBER(EDIT(PCD, '$999'));
END
TABLE FILE GGSALES
PRINT DST.PCD
      DST.NUM_CD
BY CATEGORY
END

Or TO_NUMBER() is not a valid function in Datamigrator as the error state...
If it's the case maybe you can use the following
NUM_FLD /P11 = EDIT(EDIT(SUB_REK_ID,'$$$$$$$$9999999999'));

DEFINE FILE CAR
IBAN/A18 WITH CAR = 'NL38RABO0192345678';
IBCHAR/A10=EDIT(IBAN,'$$$$$$$$9999999999');
IBNUM/I9=TO_INTEGER(IBCHAR);
IBPAC/P12.2=IBNUM;
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT IBAN IBCHAR IBNUM IBPAC
BY COUNTRY
END

Thnx all

DB_EXPR(CAST(SUBSTR(SUB_REK_ID,9,10) AS DECIMAL (10,0))) works
problem was you have to use the WITH option to identify the logical home of the expression

case closed
