This would put a packed value at position 37-40 in the record. This
does not seem a reasonable approach, unless the packed value you want to
write is always constant, for example to initialize blanks to packed
zeros, or what not.
I would suggest a traditional program described RPG solution, I think.

Subject: Write packed number to program-described file using imbedded
SQL
Am I just having a massive brain-cramp on this one? How do you write a
packed number (7,4 - 4 bytes long) to a program-described file using
imbedded SQL? Defining the field as packed in RPG doesn't help because
the
program still considers it as if it were unpacked (i.e. 123.4567).
Please don't ask why I would want to do this - I'm in a situation where
there are few options.
Help? (My main has turned to brush.)
