Hi,
I have a file with a field with length 3 bytes (starting position 2). The values in the file for this field is in unpacked format.
My need is to pack (comp-3 format) the values of the above field.
Thanks
Sumu |

I dont understand what you meant by this. I am not aware of packed zoned decimal format. Are you trying to convert a ZD field to PD? Or is it something else. |

Hello,

There is no such data type. There is zoned-decimal and packed-decimal.
Post the output (in hex) you want from the input you posted. |

I am sorry. it was mispelled. I meant to say packed decimal
Sample input record
C1390000228
C1390000229
I need to pack the above values 228 and 229 in Packed Decimal Format (Comp-3) using SORT card
Start position of above values of field is 9 and length is 3
The output (in hex) for the above input records
C1390000228
CFFFFFFFFFF4444
313900002280000
C1390000229
CFFFFFFFFFF4444
313900002290000 |

sumueng,
You can use the TO=PD option to convert the ZD field to PD.
| Code: |
OPTION COPY
OUTREC BUILD=(1,8,9,3,ZD,TO=PD,LENGTH=2) |

| It's the first 8 characters in your input file and has nothing to do with the PD conversion. You can modify the card as per your output layout. |
