- This is our situation.
-
- We need to transfer data from Unix/Oracle/C to MVS cobol and from MVS/Cobol
- to Unix/Oracle/C. We are being asked to transfer the data to MVS from UNIX
- in a format that MVS/COBOL can understand. The problem is with MVS Cobol
- COMP-3 fields and Zoned decimal. My question is, Is their a utility in C, on
- the UNIX side, which will convert numeric data to Packed Decimal or Zoned
- Decimal and also convert back from Packed Decimal or Zoned Decimal to Numeric
- data.
-
- Please note that may programming skills with C are not that great.
-
- Any Help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
