[rbunster]

Hi,

I have a Z/OS Sas code with two input files and in both files I have some ZD and PD variables

The way I am doing it my output file looks like this:

1222238931;TQ;0001;201F;0B;04229918I ;A ;  ä ¸;  Êï)

So my question is, how can I do to convert my ZD and PD variables before PUT ?

Thank you,

Rodrigo

The packed decimal format is just that: a format. use any other format you want, such as 32.15, to write out the number in a human-legible form. I suspect the table's metadata may store an appropriate format for each variable.

Use 16.2 instead of PD7.2.

With the ZDw, add 1 to the length for formats with no fractions, 2 for formats with fractions.

(ZD13.2 -> 15.2, ZD4.0 -> 5.0)
