How to change edited num to comp num

[karthick]

hi, pls help me in solving the issue,

Im reading a file which contain values in this format 0f -100,00,000. i have to use this value for computation.
How can i change this value in a computable form.

The easiest would be the intrinsic function NUMVAL....

[karthick]

Will the Numval function gives me the value for -1,00,000 as -100000. which can be used for computation?
Still this issue hasnt been solved. Since im a beginner im not much aware of complex fuctions. can any one help me in detail wat to done?

Forgot about the commas......

01 question pic x(10) value '-1,00,000'
01 answer pic s9(9) value zero
01 pretty-answer pic --------9.
Compute answer = NUMVALC (question)
move answer to pretty-answer
display answer
00010000{
display pretty-answer
-100000.

Hello,

why display answer wil show ' 00010000{ '

This is shown by a display because of the "sign".
