Hi,
I have a file in .txt format. It is FTPd from the mainframe and I can use only the .txt fil as my program input. Starting from position 507, there is a amount value which I need to pick up to do some calculation.
The value is 0021000. From the mainframe copybook I came to know that the field description is as 9(5)V99.
As per my understanding is the amount here is 210.00.
Can any one tell me how would i can have this value? |

| Define the field like that, use it. It is exactly how it would look on any other dataset, according to your example. |
