hi,
i have a field which is of S9(4). when we view it thru copy book it will display as +1000, -2000,+4000,-3000, respectively,
i have to replce -ve value with zero. but problem here is i dont know the position to replace the sign.since sign will be stored internlly,if i know the position i can replce using below sort card.
OUTREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(pos???,1,CH,EQ,C'-'),
OVERLAY=(pos:C'+0 ')
is there any wayy we can identify and replace -ve value with zero?
Regds,

S9(4) doesn't tell us much. Is it zoned, packed, or binary?
Whichever, define it in your sort card, test it for less than zero, if it is, it is negative so make it zero, else leave it alone because it is positive. |

| Use Sub string to identify the 'Minus sign' and replace it with Zero using FINDREP. |

A poor idea since it isn't know what format the data is in, there may not be byte for the sign!![/b] |

Hello,
Also, there is no minus-sign to test for. The "-" diesnt really exist, but is added by the code that displays the value.

Can't be done as per your post, there is no actual "-". S9(4) means a bit or some number of bits will be the sign (depending on the data definition (binary, packed-decimal, zoned-decimal).
Show the value of this field in hex without using the copybook display. |
