Subject: packed decimals

Does any one out there knows how to "create" the equivalent of packed decimals with java?

I am writing a program to send a message to a remote application and I have to pre-apend the message with a packed two bytes field containing the message length. My message is 69 bytes long, therefore the first two bytes are expected to contain X'00'& X'69'.

One more question, is the STX generate with '\u0001' equivalent to ASCII X'01' ?

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
