I came across a bug while importing COBOL Copybook that have signed decimal elements. To find out exact problem, I created following copybook and imported into MRM.
| Code: |
01 TEST-FLOAT.
03 ELE1 PIC S9(2).
03 ELE2 PIC S9(2)V99.
03 ELE3 PIC S9(3).
03 ELE4 PIC S9(2)V9.
03 ELE5 PIC S9(4).
03 ELE6 PIC S9(5)V99.
03 ELE7 PIC S9(6)V99.
03 ELE8 PIC S9(7)V99.
03 ELE9 PIC S9(8)V99.
03 ELE10 PIC S9(9)V99.

WMQI created following elements into MRM and their properties were set to following,
| Code: |
Element Name - Logical Type, Physical Type, Length Count, Virtual Decimal Point, Signed
ELE1 - INTEGER, Extended Decimal, 2, n/a, Yes
ELE2 - DECIMAL, Extended Decimal, 4, 2, No
ELE3 - INTEGER, Extended Decimal, 3, n/a, Yes
ELE4 - DECIMAL, Extended Decimal, 2, 1, No
ELE5 - INTEGER, Extended Decimal, 4, n/a, Yes
ELE6 - DECIMAL, Extended Decimal, 7, 2, No
ELE7 - DECIMAL, Extended Decimal, 8, 2, No
ELE8 - DECIMAL, Extended Decimal, 9, 2, No
ELE9 - DECIMAL, Extended Decimal, 10, 2, No
ELE10 - DECIMAL, Extended Decimal, 11, 2, No
|
After looking at this data, I think, WMQI is not able to set Signed property in CWF tab for numbers with virtual decimal point.
Did anyone came across similar problem? I am not sure whether this is working in MQSI 2.0.x or not.
I am using WMQI 2.1 CSD2.

Hi Kiran,
I am seeing similar problems on WMQI 2.1. My question is whether or not this is fixed with CSD3? If not, what is the work around? Are there issues with COBOL signed packed decimals, as well?
Thank you!

Hi Donna,
I have not yet installed CSD3 on our servers, so I am not sure whether this bug is fixed or not. But I remember reading something similar to this bug in CSD3 readme.txt file. Currently, I am manually checking the field lengths for decimal fields after the import.

Kiran,
Yes we had a similar problem with signed fields. We also had a problem with the padding character for pic x fields being set to NUL instead of space and I think someone told me that there was a fix for that but it was after CSD 2.

Finally we installed CSD3 on our server! I tried importing the same copybook into WMQI, this time all properties were set correctly! Looks like they fixed this in CSD3! I'm hoping that they have also fixed the problem of byte allocation (Total Length) for COMP3 fields.
With CSD2 I never had problems with Padding char for PIC X fields. I think If you create an element by hand (without importing the copybook) WMQI will set padding to NUL.
