Hi,

I have a problem when interpreting a signed packed decimal of 18 length:

S9(1 COMP -3

(WMQI 2.1 OS/390)

my CWF options are:
Physical Type : packed decimal
Length Count : 10
Length Units : Bytes
Signed : Yes
Sign Orientation : N/A
Byte Alignment : 1 Byte
String Justification : N/A
Padding Character : Disabled
Skip Count : 0
Encoding Null : NULLLogicalValue
Encoding Null Value: 0

when the input data is X'123456789012345678C'

the MRM trace show 1.23456789012345 E+17

and when i put this data in a char data it becomes :
123456789012345000

i loose the 3 last numbers

I supose this is a limitation of 14 number after the point.

How can i do to have my 3 last numbers?

Hi -

You tell us the Physical type is packed decimal.
What logical type did you use ?

Float or Decimal ?

I assume it was float by the result that you got.
Try using a logical type of decimal.

This will effect how WMQI stores the number internaly.

Floats can contain larger numbers but decimals store more precision.
