Hello,

I have a situation where < 10 % of my records which I am processing have packed numeric data and rest are normal Character Data.

I need to print these packed numeric data as character on a report.

I would like to know how should I handle this, using monitor block is expensive as most of them are non-numeric anyways.

Please let me know how to go about resolving this situation.

Thanks,
Ashwani
