These are the actual values stored in Db2 table.
I want it to unload to a dataset and FTP to text file.
If I am not using CHAR conversion leading Zero's are removed when extracted to dataset.
If the value is 0.01 it comes as .01 in dataset ,So I used CHAR conversion. |

NO!
Read the description of the char function in DB2 manuals!
DEC(9,2) are numeric data items and would be stored with leading zeros. |

Dick, it might be possible as when you do a select on a decimal field, it shows the value without leading zeroes. Even when i browse my table i don’t get to see the leading zeroes. |

| I think the point being made is that SPUFI, QMF, File-Aid for DB2, and any other software might suppress the leading zeros when being displayed, but the DB2 manual indicates that DECIMAL data types are stored in what COBOL refers to as packed decimal (COMP-3) which means leading zeros are present. |

Hello,
Keep in mind that when you "see" the values via some query, you are not seeing what is stored in the database, but rather a more "people friendly" presentation of the value.
Very much like in cobol when you move a packed-decimal field to an edited output field to get something like $12,345.88-. The currency sign, the comma, the decimal point, and the actual minus sign are not in the data field. They are inseerted for readability by the definition of the output field. |

That is true. Therefore i used

and as Terry indicated in SPUFI we get to see the results with suppressed zeroes.
I believe Krishnadeva is worried all about representation and not how the value is being actually stored. |
