Biztalk folks tell me that they cant accept zoned or packed data, in addition they want to see numerics as edited character strings; ie "123.45"

I am trying to make the interface file fields refer back to our iseries database files.

For a order detail file with field QTY defined as packed 10.2, can I refer to the original field in my interface file, but add an edit code? But I am pretty sure that there edit codes are ignored for physical & logical files.

Is it possible to have DB2 utilize the edit codes for a PF?

Is there a better way than moving each numeric field to a work field for the edit to add the decimal point, and then to the interface file?

I am using cobol so would like to do most fields with MOVE CORRESPONDING, but that is secondary.

Primarily I would like DDS to handle the editing. Is this doable?

Thanks!
