I have a field as below
RATE FIXED DEC (13,5);
I need to move this to a CHAR field RATE_CHAR in a file. The field is of type CHAR.
The value in RATE is 123456.12345
In the RATE_CHAR i need to get the value as 0123456.12345
What I have to do for this? |

Hello,

At the top of the page there is a link to "IBM Manuals". On that page, are the PL/I Language Reference and Programming Guide which should be what you need.
If you find something in the manual that is not clear, post what you found and your question about it. Someone will be able to clarify. |

Hi Vimal,
You can do it in the following way.
DCL RATE FIXED DEC (13,5) INIT(123456.12345);
DCL RATEP PIC '9999999V.99999';
DCL RATEC CHAR(13);
RATEP=RATE;
RATEC=RATEP;
PUT SKIP LIST('RATE RATEP RATEC: ',RATE,RATEP,RATEC);
and the result is
RATE RATEP RATEC: 123456.12345 0123456.12345 0123456.12345 |
