Hello,
Is there some reason you did not post some of these values using HEX ON as you were requested?
If you are certain that all of the fields to be totaled have valid values, use the NUMVAL function as suggested. If this data is the entered by a user, it will need to be edited before using NUMVAL or there will be abends.
Only slightly better. . .I guess you have a better idea as to what records i deal with now..

There is no need to show "whole records" - only a few of the values you need to work with.the length of the record is 140+
I cannot extract the whole record..
