>> I think it would be nice to have the zhbgetvar procedure have the
ability to convert an html variable to numeric
That can't really happen until IBM upgrades RPG to allow overloading on
return values and/or parameters. Right now the compiler validates that the
return type of the function matches the variable it is being assigned to so
assigning a character function to a numeric can't be done.
If you are on V5R3 you should be able to do this though:
numVal = %Dec( zhbgetvar('name'): length: decPos);
Error handling won't be pretty though.
