Outfil outrec

[govardhan]

Hi,
i have a input file with couple of fields in numeric (Packed decimal), my work is to copy some of the fields from input file to output file.
My problem is some of the fields from input file which are in PD decimal are copied to output file using outfil outrec but these are not displaying the numbers..instead it is displaying some alphabets like CBAC. hence please help me to how to display the numbers

pretty hard to suggest changes to your control statements when no one, except you, knows what your control statements are.

post your jcl for the sort with the control cards.

Govardhan,

When we have data in PD format obviously we will not be able to see the value of the fields unless we use a copybook with the correct declarations.

But if your question is if you want to convert the data type and copy the data in the readable format in the O/P file then we can use the syntax as below

Example : PD,TO=ZD, Data type conversion
