Re: Decimal Place in Character String

Hi Dave

I tested this a bit - let me know if my declarations are the same -

**free
dcl-s packed_data packed(9 : 0) inz(-123456789);
dcl-s d_shift zoned(3 : 0) inz(100);
dcl-s result char(256);
result = %char(packed_data / d_shift);
*inlr = *on;

The result was '-1234789.890000000000000000000'

This is on a 7.3 box.

What's different for you compared to me?

Regards
Vern

Output string too short?

No, the output is a 256-character variable length string. The
value was -1234567.89. The following was producing -123456789 with
d_shift having a value of 100.


return %char(packed_data / d_shift);


Sincerely,

Dave Clark
