- Hi
- I am writing a program where I have to process data stored in a file
- that was generated by a Unisys COBOL program which is in packed format.
- Can someone tell me how to handle this. For now I have to only need to
- compare a string placed by a barcode scanner to the first 3 bytes of the
- data file that has this 8 bit data.
- thankx
- Bernard
