Hi ,

I created a small routine to convert string values to decimal

$INCLUDE DSINCLUDE JOBCONTROL.H
vLen=len(Arg1)
For Arg2 = vLen To 1 Step -1
If Arg1[Arg2,1]="" or Arg1[Arg2,1]=" "
then
end
else 
abc=Seq(Arg1[Arg2,1]):abc
end  
Next Arg2
Ans=abc

and when i try to run the job i am getting the following error
Program "DSU.StringToDecimal": Line 9, Variable "abc" previously undefined. Empty string used.
Program "DSU.StringToDecimal": Line 9, Variable "abc" previously undefined. Empty string used.
Program "DSU.StringToDecimal": Line 9, Variable "abc" previously undefined. Empty string used.
Program "DSU.StringToDecimal": Line 9, Variable "abc" previously undefined. Empty string used.
Program "DSU.StringToDecimal": Line 9, Variable "abc" previously undefined. Empty string used.

can you please let me know what is the error causing .

Any help is really appreciated

Thanks in advance

The error is pretty self-explanatory. You are referencing a variable that has yet to be defined. Solution? Initialize it properly.

Here, let me take a wild stab at that.

Code: Select all

$INCLUDE DSINCLUDE JOBCONTROL.H 
vLen=len(Arg1) 
abc=''
For Arg2 = vLen To 1 Step -1 
If Arg1[Arg2,1]="" or Arg1[Arg2,1]=" " 
then 
end 
else 
abc=Seq(Arg1[Arg2,1]):abc 
end  
Next Arg2 
Ans=abc
