In my DB2 to csv routine[1] I extract data from a program described
file and put data identified as packed into a packed field before
formatting it. I just use data structures to handle the conversion
from packed to string & vice versa - see
http://dbg400.net/cgi-bin/twiki/view/DBG400/RpgleDBG201R4 in the
ParseLine subroutine.
