A standard Packed Decimal to Decimal Function (P2D):
| Code: |
/* REXX */
P2D:
HEX = C2X(ARG(1))
RESULT = LEFT(HEX,LENGTH(HEX)-1)
IF RIGHT(HEX,1) = 'D' THEN RETURN '-'RESULT ELSE RETURN RESULT

Hi, i got solution..
Thanks for the reply...
i coded using the function 'C2D'
like TEMP3=C2D(TEMP2,4)
here, TEMP2 is a cahrecter variable having COMP value,so it converts char to decimal i.e numeric into variable TEMP3 |
