Hi,
I am trying to unload a db2 column value using DSNTIAUL utility which is Packed decimal format . I want the output to be in the zoned decimal format.
I tried using zoned (column _name) which threw an error.
Can you please help me with the function which could be used to achieve the requirement
Thanks |

1) There is no such function, or whatever, named ZONED, neither in DB2, nor in 100+ other tools/languages/environments I ever dealt with.
2) In order to convert decimal to character/printable format, there is function CHAR supported in DB2, and many other places.
3) What exactly is the need to convert to Zoned Decimal? Are you sure? Do you know exactly what the Zoned Decimal format is, and how to use it? |

| Neither sign nor decimal point appear in the result when DIGITS is used. |

For me that is a feature rather than a problem. For pretty output I use QMF. |
