Suryyogi,
You didn't 'SAY' what is in your mind properly..... You wanted this to be done using JCL or some CA product (since its posted in CA forum). |

Packed decimal is a numeric field type.
If you explain what you want for output, we will be able to offer suggestions for your Easytrieve(?) question. |

How will this field be used after it is written?
If it will be used in another mainframe program as input, there is no reason to change the data to some different format.
You might try amt 7 n (or 7 n 2). If the amount is to be printed on a report, you mikght include a MASK.
Good luck and we're here if there are questions. |
