Hi,
I'm writting a Fixed width message to a File, where some of the Numeric elements in the message need to be converted into Packed decimal format. In the message set, I'm mentioning these elements as Packed decimal and it is getting converted.
But I'm getting lE# as the converted value from the broker; while the existing JAVA application gives #El for the same input, which is exactly the reverse order. What can be done to rectify this? I tried setting the Default Packed Decimal Byte Order* as LittleEndian, but not coming. Any help in this regard would be extremely useful.
Regards,
Vakku |

Which physical format type ( TDS or CWF )?
What happens if you set it to 'Big Endian' ?
btw - Packed Decimal is a binary format. Please describe the bytes in the message, not the characters which your viewer happens to be displaying. |

Thanks for the response. The message set is TDS.The byte format of packed decimal is coming as lE#SOH in Notepad++ editor
Since it is coming in the reverse order of bytes, I tried with Little Endian as the format itself will take care of Least Significant Bit as the first. |

That's very nice, but still a display format. What is the actual hexadecimal, as kimbert has asked?
