Re: still can't get INFDS working.. ##@%%#%@%

Charles,

I'm using STRISDB to check the value of POS using a breakpoint.

I agree with your point that it looks like 4 bytes are being
displayed.  I think I know why.

In RPG II, the internal representation of numerics was using zoned
decimal.  Therefore, binary data is automatically converted to zoned
decimal in RPG II.
I believe that is why '0B39' is represented as '0B390000'.

Unfortunately, that knowledge has not helped me solve my problem.
