Hey is there a way in REXX in which I can convert numerics (cobol 9(n) variables) to packed variables (s9(n) COMP)?

Please help...

Try this procedure:
Code:

/* rexx */
d2p: procedure
/* rexx  convert number to packed decimal  */
arg number
if datatype(number) ^= 'NUM' then return ''
if number < 0 then
  interpret "number_p = '"abs(number)"D'x"
else
  interpret "number_p = '"number"C'x"
return number_p
