Java does not have a packed decimal data type. I am looking for classes or
routines that will allow the Java programs to process the paced decimal
data.
Google's first hit on packed decimal java:

Isn't that difficult, is
I had the same problem some time ago with C/370, when DECIMAL was not
supported or was not an option for the installation. So I have some
routines to handle packed decimal in C.
I would suggest that you call a JNI (native) routine, written in C or
another compiler language to handle decimal
Benjamin, all
Yes there are Java J2SE compatible open source routines available as part
of the www.z390.org portable mainframe assembler and emulator project
which provide standard operations plus conversion between all the
mainframe data types including: 31 digit packed decimal; floating
I found half of what I want in com.dovetail.jzos.ByteUtil.unpackLong(). Now
I just need a longPacked() method.

You might want to take a look at the JRIO classes as referenced by this

Here's what I did.

site:ibm.com java packed decimal
Most interesting hit (based upon 15 seconds of analysis) was a web page
apparently authored by Mike Cowlishaw (IBM) regarding all of the issues
surrounding attempting to use floating point arithmetic
The standard device for giving Java access to packed-decimal data is to
convert these data into double-precision (eight-byte) BFP values. This is
always possible, and to the extent that Java is good at any arithmetic, it
is good at floating-point arithmetic, which it uses very heavily indeed.
Subsituting BFP for decimals may be standard, but it is usually a bad
idea (as are many standard programming practices) :-(
The standard java package java.math contains a BigDecimal class, which
is commonly used with JDBC drivers for Decimal columns.
IBM's JDK has an alternative version.

I don't agree that it is fortunate. Decimal is the number system
