am trying to Unload the data from DB2 table to Flat File using Unload Utility. While doing the Unload, I need to convert a field from binary data type from DB2 to Numeric value corresponding cobol Clause.
I tried to use the Cast Function like CAST(Field name) As Interger and CAST(Field name) As decimal (4,0) But I am getting the low value
Is there any way to get the result as a numeric
I might have less knowledge about db2 but its a requirement for me |

This should be easy enough to accomplish in COBOL, unless the binary-field (for whatever reason) is of an unsupported length that COBOL can't handle. How many bytes is the binary-field and what's its maximum value (please post value in hex).
When you say NUMERIC, does the binary-field need to be converted to Packed-Decimal or Display-Numeric?
What have you tried?

Despite a presumed 6½ years in IT (as evinced by your join date) and a claim to DB2 in your profile skillset, you pretty conclusively proved in this thread -- where you asked virtually the same question -- that you don't know what you're talking about. Don't you think that it's time to get out of the field? |
