Hi guys, this is my first post here. Hope that I can get some help from you all. 
I have a field defined as below...
05 MC1COUNT-SEGMENT-COUNT PIC X(1).
This field is storing a counter which defines the number of occurences of 40 segments. And I want to convert this field to decimal or packed decimal in QUIKJOB.
For example, this field contains a value of X'21'. I would like it to be converted into numeric value of P'33'. I just could not get this solved. Please help.
A million thanks. |

Hello,
Define the field as a 1-byte binary field instead of an X field. |
