Gil,

Fixed-point (Packed) Decimal Data   

z/OS XL C supports fixed-point (packed) decimal as a native data type for use 
in business applications. The packed data type is similar to the COBOL data 
type COMP-3 or the PL/I data type FIXED DEC, with up to 31 digits of precision.

Note : Open XL does not have Packed Decimal support

Thanks,
Kolusu

For example, does z⧸OS XL C⧸C++ support packed decimal?  Others?
