Reggie,
The 'decimal' function converts an integer expression to a string. From
the MPE/iX online help:
:help decimal all
Syntax: DECIMAL(integer)
Defn: A CI evaluator function that converts a number from an
integer to a string.
Type: String
Example: decimal(127)
Result: 127
The line in error should read:
: SETVAR hour ![word(file_record,,-2)]
Validating on the MPE/iX side and again using the online help:
:setvar file_record "Y 5 PM"
:SETVAR hour ![word(file_record,,-2)]
:showvar hour
HOUR = 5
:echo ![typeof(hour)]
1
:help typeof all
Syntax: TYPEOF(expression)
Defn: A CI evaluator function that returns the type of a
variable or expression where:
0 = invalid type
1 = Integer
2 = String
3 = Boolean
Type: Integer
Example: typeof(HPPATH)
Result: 2 (string)

I seem to be getting the below error when using the decimal command. Do
anyone have an idea?
