Hi,

I need to convert the Decimal value into Binary for specfic fields. But I got S0C7. Please let me know my mistakes on this?

I tried two ways.

gharidoss,

PD - refers to Packed Decimal (Comp-3 Variable). What do you mean when you say Decimal value ? Normal Decimal S9(n)v99 without COMP-3 or WITH COMP-3?

Try this if you are using normal decimal without COMP-3 (ZD stands for Zoned Decimal)

Hi Phantom,

Thanks for the reply...

My requirement is Zoned Decimal. it's working fine.

Thanks,
Hari

See Appendix C of "z/OS DFSORT Application Programming Guide" for info on the various DFSORT formats and how they relate to COBOL formats.
