Hi All,

Please see the discussion for this issue in Needing help with the conversion of the following fields from IBM.

Don,
IBM COMP-3 fields are packed, 2 digits per byte + another half byte for the sign. V indicates the position of the virtual decimal point.
In your examples you have SV9(5), meaning 5 digits and a sign = 6 half bytes = 3 bytes.
In FOCUS you would code this: USAGE=P7.5, ACTUAL=P3, $
ACTUAL=P3 => 3 bytes packed
USAGE=P7.5 => 7 digits including the decimal point with 5 digits after the decimal point

This has been SOLVED think you for your help
