Hi,
I need help in JCL SoRT. I have numeric data in my Input file and i need to convert it to Packed decimal and add trailing zero's at the end.
Here is my I/P :
column 1-4
1200
2345
3542
Expected output :
1200.00
2345.00
3542.00
Thanks |

| There is another issue. There are no decimal points in packed decimal data. In other words, your request cannot be done. |

| Steve, That’s correct and I guess TS would have said to convert to equivalent of DEC(6,2) or PIC 9(4)V99. |

| There is no JCL Sort - there is DFsort and SyncSort and others but no JCL sort. Moving to DFSort. If you are using SyncSort (look at your sort messages) then it can be moved there - once you let us know. |

0) SORT is not JCL, and it has no more relation to JCL than any other existing utility/program/module
1) Your sample output is not packed decimal, it is a simple character string. To implement this example you would need just to concatenate character string C'.00' to previous 4-character string from your data.
2) In all machine-format numeric data with fixed decimal point (e.g. PIC 9...9 COMP-x in COBOL notation), this decimal point is assumed at the same specified position; it is never stored in any manner. (In floating-point formats the position of decimal point is defined via exponent part of its numeric machine format, but this case is definitely off-topic here)
3) You definitely need RTFM - something about computers, data formats, computer programming, data processing methods, algorithms, programming languages, testing and debugging, etc. etc. etc. |
