Hello,
If you "DISPLAY" them, they will display. . . .
Probably not the answer you were looking for, but all i'll try withnwhat you posted.
If you post some sample input and the output you want, someone will have a more usable suggestion. |

Hi Venkat,
to the best of my knowledge, we have FTP comp data and there will be no display issues. if we try to ftp comp3, it would be displayed correctly. |

| When transferring data by FTP the data should be in character format, no binary or packed decimal and with a separate sign. You need to check and find out if the application on the receiving end wants to sign at the beginning or the end of the number. |

Hello,

Very important.
The easiest way i've found to get usable values on the target system is to simply MOVE the comp/packed fields to edited fields before sending the ftp (i.e. code-fld pic 999999999-.).
Also, i'd suggest changing the name of the field CODE to some other name. |

If your PIC is 999999999+, won't that put a + or - at the end, rather than a blank or -?
That might look better for eyeball testing. |
