Hi,

I need to convert the comp3 field from S9(3)v9(15) Comp-3 to S9(2)v9(7) Comp-3.

Eg: (I am not showing in Hex format)
If the input is 123.123456789012345, i need to convert to
23.1234567

How to acheive this?

Thanks

while it might be <reasonable> to truncate less significant digits
not so for the most significant ones
what is the business reason to get rid of them ?

I would be glad if that was done for amounts debited on my current account,
not so much for the amounts being credited

Hi,

Before the file definition was s9(2)v9(7) and now they changed to s9(3)v9(15). So for the current existing file definitely the most significant bit would be 0.

Current file data:
012.123456789111111

I want to convert to old file format
12.1234567

Thanks

Hello,

What happens when you MOVE the larger field to the smaller? Or COMPUTE?
