Hi ,

In my input file I have below value and it has last four characters
after decimal point. Can you please tell me how to read this ?.
I cannot use S9(7)V9(4), becuase my sign is not stored last character.
Also 9(8)v9(4) is not supports as it has '+' character at starting.

+00319310710

Thanks and Regards,
Kumar.M

And what has this to do with TSO or ISPF?

In that same manual, you might want the Intrinsic Function NUMVAL.

Hello,

Possibly TS will explain a bit more why there is a problem.

I must admit, i do not know . . .

maybe he hasn't found the phrase "SIGN LEADING SEPARATE".
