Hi,
I have a file with a field having 8 P 2. This file is to FTPd on a server and so need to convert this packed decimal to normal format.
Hence i moved this field to another field having 15 N 2.
But I get a Data Exception error. Cant we move Packed Decimal to Zoned Decimal format? If not, how should I proceed?

Thanks in advance.

Rohit.

Hi,
" Move " will not be satisfying your requirement.
Try this one,
Ex:
var1 8 p 2
var2 15 n 2

var2 EQ var1

This will work for you.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply..
I already solved it by using
field2 = field1 i.e. assignment operator.
