				| 
 |  
				| Hi all, I have this huge COBOL-DB2-TELON program that has calls to 'IFULLNUM' and 'ILALPHA'. Are these standard subroutines like say 'CBLTDLI' in IMS.If so what does these two subroutines do?I am a beginner and am not very familiar with DB2 or TELON.Can anyone please help me?

				| Priya, 
 IFULLNUM and ILALPHA are Field Edit Formats.
 
 IFULLNUM is used to Edit a numeric field to ensure that all  characters are numeric.
 
 ILALPHA is a function used to Left-justifies a character field.
 
 Btw CBLTDLI is not a subroutine but an interface to IMS.When the application program calls IMS in a language-dependent interface, IMS determines the language of the calling program according to the entry name that is specified in the CALL statement. That is, IMS assumes that the program is:
 
 Assembler language when the application program uses CALL ASMTDLI
 
 C language when the application program uses rc=CTDLI
 
 COBOL when the application program uses CALL CBLTDLI
 
 Pascal when the application program uses CALL PASTDLI
 
 PL/I when the application program uses CALL PLITDLI
 
 
 Hope this helps...
 
 cheers
