hi,

on netexpress 5.1 the function numval of a string don't give abend .

On mfe, instead, it give abend "181 invalid parameter error"

the source

NUMB PIC 9(18) comp.

WK-STR PIC X(50).

              MOVE "00000061G   " TO WK-STR
              COMPUTE NUMB = FUNCTION NUMVAL(WK-STR)

I add this compiler directive:

HOSTNUMMOVE
HOSTNUMCOMPARE
HOSTARITHMETIC
NOSIGNFIXUP
CHECKNUM

but I don't have the same behavior..

thank...

Hi,

The behavior of passing invalid characters to this function is undefined.

On Net Express the behavior is to strip out the alphabetic characters and return a numeric value which represents the numeric characters in the string.

I would recommend that you open up a support incident with Customer Care if you would like to see the MFE behavior and we can look into the possibility.

Thanks..
