Packed Data in an Alpha Field???

["Robertson, Scott" <SRobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a file that seems to have packed data being written to an
alphanumeric field.  Is there any way to "view" the data in this field?


I've tried viewing the data through DBU, but it just shows the data as
little squares...the same as viewing it through DSPPFM.  I've tried
creating an RPG program that moves the data from the alpha field to a
packed numeric field, but I get a decimal data error.

I'm hoping that by viewing the data in this field, that I can figure out
what program is actually writing the data to the file.

Any suggestions?
