EvalR not working for me

[gregwga50]

I know it must be something obvious but both D1acct# and Wrk18 are defined as 18A in my program. (see attachments)

WRK18 should be right justified?

Try:

EvalR Wrk18 = %trim(D1acct#);

Re: EvalR not working for me

nope it's working as it should...you are moving 18 characters from D1Acct# to 18 characters in Wrk18. i believe you are wanting

Wrk18 = %Trim(D1Acct#);

Tom, he still needs EVALR to get it right-justified.

Re: EvalR not working for me

%Trim fixes it. Thanks everyone

Evalr Wrk18 = %Trim(D1acct#);

As a side note, I'm a little surprised this didn't blow up, converting an alpha field with blanks in it to a decimal field

Yes, %DEC is a nice BIF. The character field being converted with %DEC to numeric can contain embedded blanks, a + or - that precedes or follows the value, or a decimal point.
