You need to post a more clear definition of your file layout. It is surely not one field of 80 that contains comp-3 data.
Also, please post how you want the output (on a report, in a file for later use, displayed in sysout). The way to do what you want will depend on what you have and what you are doing with it. |

Hello Sambhaji,
Please do not post untested "solutions". It only adds confusion.
The posted data contains no packed-decimal data.
Gousiya,
Please post how you want the output to appear. You posted 8 bytes - is the rest of the record similar? Is that one 8-byte field or 2 4-byte values? |

Gousiya,
Well, if this is really one 8-byte field in COMP format, then it's a pretty large number. Assuming its binary (unsigned) and not fixed-point (signed), you can convert it to ZD format using these DFSORT statements:
| Code: |
OPTION COPY
INREC BUILD=(1,8,BI,TO=ZD)
|
That would give you a 20-character displayable value. For the input value you showed, the output value would be:
| Code: |
00000004011499455966
|
If you want some other output form other than ZD, you need to show exactly what you want.
Personally, I'd guess these were actually two 4-byte COMP fields, but you need to figure out what kind of data you have yourself. |
