Hi,
I have a piece of code that I convert a numeric into a character:
char_var = put(num_var, $16.) ;
and I get the warning
"Variable num_var has already been defined as numeric."
can anyone tell me how to get rid of this? from that point forward I only use the character version of the variable.
Thanks for your help.
Just remove the $ from the statement where you are using the put function.
