Hello,

I am using 2.1 CSD02.
I created MRM(CWF) msg set and imported Cobol copybook with some PIC S9(15)V9(2) USAGE COMP-3 fields.
These fields have Member Properties on CWF tab grayed out so I can not change them even if I check out them.
All these packed decimal fields generated Signed=Yes and SignOrientation=NotApplicable on CWF tab.
When I send my data it comes without the sign if the value is positive and with '-' when negative.
When data has positive value my flow fails with following error:
"BIP5505E: Data conversion failed: data invalid. Type of data being read: packed decimal, no sign found"

How can I get around this?

Thanks for your input.
M.

IS this field used for parsing your input data? You are you generating your input data? Since this is a COMP-3 field the data should be generated by appropriate program (COBOL). Data in Packed decimal (COMP-3) fields is structured differently. I am sure the error will go away if you generate your input data properly.
Sign Orientaion is only applicable for Extended Decimals (PIC 9.. clause only).

Hi Kirani,

I have PL/I program that generates data and it does not generate '+' when value is positive but it generates '-' when negative. Cobol include field is declared as S9(5) COMP-3 and WMQI expects always sign for such a declaration. This is finantial data and it can be negative.
What should i do in my MRM to make it work? Is there any way to modify SignOrientation field after the import?

Thanks.
Miron
