Hi,
I have to convert 16-digit number which is in the form of X(16) data into packed X(9) data. Could any body let me know how to go about it.
Thanks in advance, |

I'm guessing you want to somehow store the value of a 16 digit number in 9 bytes of data.
Since is's 9 bytes and not 8, that eliminates conversion to binary (COMP).
That leaves conversion to packed decimal (COMP-3).
| Code: |
01 16-byte-x-fld pic x(016).
01 16-byte-9-fld redefines
16-byte-x-fld pic S9(016).
01 9-byte-pd-fld pic S9(016) comp-3.
move 16-byte-9-fld to 9-byte-pd-fld |

Hi Jack,
I think,you missed to specify the usage as COMP-3 for 9-byte-pd-fld in your code.

Sridevi. |
