Re: Packed data

     Robert,
     
     When you DSPPFM, use F10 to display the data in hexadecimal format.  
     This will allow you to decipher the packed fields.  For example, the 
     value 12 stored in a 3-byte packed field will display as 00012F.  If 
     the final hex digit is not F, the number is negative.

Does anyone know an easy way of displaying packed data held in a  flat file 
at a workstation terminal?  I know the position of the packed information. 
I've got this from the I-specs in the RPG program defining the record 
layout. Both DBU and DSPPFM have yielded nothing more than a rectangle in 
reverse image in postion 19 to 24 of the particular record I need.
