Yaa, Sorry for confusing you with my question.
Can you tell how to read this number in hex format. |

| Bear in mind that you are showing a "packed decimal" number, positively signed. So you have a "C" at the end of the number, using half a byte, so you'll have to deal with it, and any "D" which would show a negative value for the number. |

do you realize that you are looking at a 7 byte field?
the number that you have provided as an example: 359646840201
would be x'0359646840201C'
the reason Enrico provided the links is that
the details from which you wish to absquatulate without any knowledge
would free you from future rookie questions. |

Actually, his OP offers an embarrassing mishmash of packed decimal, binary, and zoned decimal (heesh may be too stupid or lazy to use an explicit USAGE clause on his COBOL picture, but the assumption of the compiler would be USAGE IS DISPLAY). Moreover, despite nearly four years of membership, heesh still refuses to use code tags or read documentation.
I recommend that we prescind from this topic until the TS starts acting like a human being instead of like a software engineer. |

whatever You mean by <read> the code snippets pointed by the links
provide the tested code to transform a packed number into a displayable thing and viceversa
if Yo are not able to understand that, then a career switch is strongly advised |
