Re: Signed Numeric Edit

[Tony DeLia <tdelia@EROLS.COM>]

Hi Patty,

   I have a routine you can find on my site, www.sqrtools.com, that can
accept signed numeric data. There's also many utilities, techniques and
other functions as well. See the section under TDFUNC for the library of
functions...

   let #W_in = '001158A'
   do MFI-Func(#W_in,  2, #W_out)
   show #W_out

The function returns 115.81

Cheers,

   Tony DeLia
