Yes you will, if the numeric data is packed. Are you familiar with how packed data is stored? The number 123 in a packed field is stored as X'123F', with the last nybble (the "F") indicating that it is a positive number. Some of the "characters" in a packed field will have hex values like X'12', which doesn't display nicely on a 5250 display. Joe
