Hi,

For a requirement I need to Change the edited COBOL filed to numeric field. Like, the field is like $123,456,789. This field needs to be used in computation, how can I do that?

Use FUNCTION NUMVALC to convert it back to a number.

We can also use NUMVAL.

Except NUMVAL does not handle currency symbols while NUMVALC does. Since the posted example has a currency symbol, that is why I recommended NUMVALC over NUMVAL.
