need code snippet to verify input strings

Hello,

I'm obviously a newbie, and since I detest re-inventing the wheel, can
someone show me/give me a snippet that will verify that an input string is
a numeric value? I'm using DB2 and would like to verify that a string is
integer, dec(x,y) etc. Dates I've been able to find a nice routine
(snippet) for, but numeric values seem to elude my searches.

Also, any suggestions on what one considers to be a *GOOD* snipet site
would help as well. :)

TIA,

Mairhtin
