Dave,

Please show how "t_number", "packed_data" and "d_shift" are declared or defined ...?     Also, need the procedure statement (PR-specs) showing how the enclosing procedure is defined, e.g. what data type it returns.

Thanks,

Mark S. Waterbury

        Can anybody tell me why the following retains the decimal place in
the returned data:

t_number = packed_data / d_shift;
return %char(t_number);

        ...but this does not?

return %char(packed_data / d_shift);


Sincerely,

Dave Clark
