Re: Unsigned Packed Decimal Data

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Didn't IBM drop support for RM-COBOL at some version or another of OS/400?
I did look at a package in the early 80's written in that.

AS400 _currently_ only supports signed packed.  Luckily, I was able to get
the RM-COBOL programmer to change the data type in his program.

There is a Computational Class 6 (COMP-6) supported by RM-COBOL which is
Unsigned Packed Decimal and I have to read that data in RPG.

Thx







Packed decimal data type is always signed.
