Rob gave a good explanation of the TESTx opcodes and how they work.

However, I'm still in the dark as to exactly what it is you're trying toaccomplish. Why are you proposing to unpack the fields? What are youtrying/hoping to accomplish with the TESTx opcodes?

Hi All,
 I have a  flat file with packed data occupied  in different positions of
each record.I want  to identify the packed fields and convert them to zoned and 
create a new record with the unpacked data. Iam not worried if file length gets 
changed.

Iam looking at some of the op codes like TESTN/TESTB etcRequest you to propose some suggestions to handle this requirement.Thanks a lotMurali.
