Hi,
I receive a X(12) field from a MAP and need to compare it with a 9(9)V99 field in a batch job. 
I was able to compare when the decimal portion (v99) was not there. |

A little more clarity is needed.
MAP and batch, please explain?
Compare, how?
Comparing alphanumeric fields with numeric fields is always a gamble, what are you trying to accomplish? |

Hello,
Please post the CICS field definition that uses the field from the map.
Then, please post the field definition(s) and compare(s) from the batch job.
What does this

Do you get a syntax error, an unexpected answer, or an abend.
Whatever info you get, you need to post it so we can help. |

Hi Ranga,
What is the range of accepable values that you can receive from the field, for example:
+234.56; $1234.56-; $1,234.56; $1234.56+; 123456-; 1234.56, etc.
You have to solve the edit problem before you can work on the conversion problem. |

Hi,
Thanks for asking details.
I am receiving the x(12) fields from a CICS map (into VSAM file) and need to compare it with a 9(9)v99 filed in a QSAM file.
Thanks. |

Finally...
You need to "de-edit" the field and get the decimal point out.
Enterprise COBOL has an intrinsic function NUMVAL that can do this easily. A little harder is to do it manually, but it can be done.
Will the NUMVAL work for you? |
