Hi everbody,
I have a query regarding table processing using easytrieve.. The DB2 table has the field DECIMAL(7, 2). This translates in cobol as S9(5)V9(2) USAGE COMP-3. This amount field may hold negative values also. Say the amout field is -313.00 . I want to convert this into packed decimal.
I tried the syntax below.
FILE FILEIN
FILEIN-COL17 253 08 N
*
FILE FILEOUT
FILEOUT-COL17 101 04 -P 2
*
JOB INPUT(FILEIN)
FILEOUT-COL17 = FILEIN-COL17
PUT FILEOUT
*
Can you give me suggestions regarding this..
Regards,
Nishmija |

Ok. What happened?
When posting a question, you need to post what happened when you tried. Did the job abend or give undesired results? Was some diagnostic message presented? Etc. . . |
