I have a requiremnt as to change the sign of a packed decimal S9(7)V99 where it can have values like -100.23. I need to change the sign of this value to '+100.23'
I have these in a dataset and there are more than 1000 records in it.
Can anyone suggest me how to do this? It would be preferable if we can do this through JCL. |

If the data actually contains "-100.23", it is not packed decimal. . . |

rohit_raajin,
S9(7)V99 is a 4-byte PD value (it does NOT contain the decimal point internally). If you want to change all minus values to plus values, you can use these DFSORT control statements where p is the starting position of the 4-byte PD field:
| Code: |
OPTION COPY
INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(p,4,PD,LT,0),
OVERLAY=(p:p,4,PD,MUL,-1,TO=PD,LENGTH=4))
