---+ COMPUTE / TOTAL Statements

%TOC%
---++ Overview

The COMPUTE statement can work with Alpha fields when used with the P and M operators. It should continue to replace the non numeric characters with zeros and perform the computation on the result.
---++ Test Plan

   1 Test P operators with raw alpha fields.
   1 Test P operators with National fields.
   1 Test P operators with Unicode fields.
   1 Test M operators with raw alpha fields.
   1 Test M operators with National fields.
   1 Test M operators with Unicode fields.
