I used a macro to specify a value of 3600. Then later used a DB2 service and got back a control block with that field (and related information).
My original value of 3600 is saved as '36000C'x in the control block. I am not familiar with this format. How to convert this hex value to a displayable value? in PLI. |

| It appears to have been saved as a signed fixed decimal value with an implied scale of one. Use s PUT EDIT variable (F (5,1)) in the PL/I program. |

The field as descbibed would be declared as :
DCL DEC_VALUE DEC FIXED(5);
the printable field as :
DCL PRT_VALUE PIC'(5)9';
assign to printable :
PRT VALUE = DEC_VALUE;
then you can print the PRT_VALUE or write to dataset etc etc..

I misunderstood my data. the '36000C'x is actually 3600.0
I am not familiar with the nuances of PIC. I am trying to figure out how to get the decimal point to come out. |

The decimal point is just an insertion character. The 'v' is the location of the (implied) decimal point. Use
to print the same as 3.6000000 |
