Hi,
I need the code to display non displayable data(packed decimal)
in spool.
I just remember that we can use COBOL for this by moving the PD data to another variable and applying some editing formats; not in touch with the exact code, please help!
Thanks. |

By spool, do you mean SDSF or IOF? If SDSF, look up the SET HEX ON command. F1 is your friend. |

Thanks. |

Hello,
If you want to see packed data you might simply DISPLAY the packed fields. . . |

Huh? Of course it will give you the exact value. . .
How might something other than the exact value be shown? |

Meenakshi,
Don't you have access to a mainframe so you can test the suggestions you've gotten so far? |

Suggest you search on keyword "display" on "Mainframe COBOL" part of the forum, you'll get enough working examples around. |
