Hi, Tim.

I have to experiment with it before I believe it works with different
decimal types.
Hope it does :-)
Of course in this case probably decimal(30,0) is not enough in general...

Hi Jevgeni,

Sorry, I got too busy last week to look at this. Here's one way to do what
you're trying to do:


void printdec(void *A, int Len, int Prec)
{
decimal(30,0) fulldec;
int offset;
// Move packed number to a 30,0 variable.
offset=16-Len/2;
if (Len & 1)
offset--;
fulldec=0;
memcpy(((char *) &fulldec)+offset, A, Len);
// Now print it.
printf("%D(30,*)\n", Prec, fulldec) ;
}

Tim,
length and precision are not a problem. The question is how to pass
this decimal value to the function.
The only way that I can imagine is as a void pointer. But you cannot
apply indirection to void pointers AFAIK.
The below program does not compile:

void printdec(void *A, int Len, int Prec) ;

int main ( )
{
decimal (15,9) A ;

A = 17.5D ;
printdec(&A, digitsof(A), precisinof(A)) ;
return(0) ;
}

void printdec(void *A, int Len, int Prec)
{
printf("%D(*,*)\n", Len, Prec, *A) ;
}

Well your function needs to know the length and decimal places. So if you
know those and can pass them to the function then just build the format
string before using it in sprintf.

Hi all,

spend a lot of time and feeling like I run into a dead cycle with a
problem, that looks trivial.

I have packed decimals in my C programs that I need to convert to a
char array, representing the number (not zero terminated string).

For example:

decimal (15,9) A ;
char szTemp[32], sField[16] ;

sprintf(szTemp, "%016D(15,9)", A) ;
memcpy(sField, szTemp, 16) ;

What I want to achieve is get a function, that receives A and returns
sField.
Of course it must support any types of decimal - not only decimal
(15,9) but others like decimal(11,7), decimal (15,0), decimal (5,0)
and so on. And, of course, decimal can be positive or negative...


Any ideas?

Jevgeni.
