Hi,
I'd like to know how to convert 9-digit packed decimal data into 16-digit
character data in E-COBOL.
I'd appreciate your reply in this regard.
Thanks |

I guess you know that a 9 DIGIT comp-3 (packed) variable is 5 BYTES long and a 16 DIGIT char variable is 16 BYTES long.
Given that:
| Code: |
pd-9-digit pic S9(009) comp-3.
ch-16-digit pic S9(016).
move pd-9-digit to ch-16-digit |
There may be variations on this depending on what you're trying to accomplish. |
