Thanks. No luck. Comes out as all zeros. ... View more

Thanks. It is in EBCIDIC. I will keep this link for future reference. But still having issues with the format. ... View more

I was able to view the data.   So this is what I have so far: How it is defined in COBOL load file: 10 ACC-CONVN-REQ-I     PIC S9(9) USAGE COMP. I am reading in a mainframe SAS proc and have tried these: @001 ACC_CONV_ID PD5. - Get all zeros @001 ACC_CONV_ID ZD9.0 - As suggested from another response. Also get all zeros. @001 ACC_CONV_ID IB4. - Get values that do not match the source as below:   10485766 03/14/2005 10485767 07/05/2005 10485767 08/15/2005 10485767 08/15/2005 10485767 09/12/2005   Should look like this:   434401     03/14/2005 477459     07/05/2005 493892     08/15/2005 497050     08/15/2005 512974     09/12/2005   In Hex the first example looks like this: .µ..µ÷03/14/2005  0A00AEFF6FF6FFFF 0006010311412005   Thanks!         ...

Thanks. Seems to make sense, but I get all 0 values when I read in SAS format and output. This what I originally tried actually. Then tried the IB4 format, which does produce results, but when I match against the DB2 table, they are not alike.     ... View more
