PACKED DECIMAL TO NUMERIC USING EASYTRIEVE

Post by SUBARNA ROY » Fri Feb 15, 2008 8:11 pm

Hi

I want to convert PACKED DECIMAL TO NUMERIC USING EASYTRIEVE

CLIENT-NUM 1 6 P 0

I want to write this field in an output field as a displayable field.

OUT-CLIENT-NUM 1 10 N 0

The simple assignement statement does not work in this case. OUT-CLIENT-NUM = CLIENT-NUM

Please help.

Try using Display to write the value to the file.

Code: Select all

OUT-CLIENT-NUM = CLIENT-NUM 

DISPLAY OUTFILE OUT-CLIENT-NUM
