Amrith,
Converting a 128-bit unsigned fixed binary integer to packed decimal is not
particularly difficult.
The following methodology should meet your needs -
IVFB - Input Value (128-bit Unsigned Fixed Binary)
WVFB - Working Value (128-bit Unsigned Fixed Binary)
AFPD - Adjustment Factor
A 40-digit decimal number? Really?
The main advantage of binary integers is that they compute readily on a
computer. The main advantage of decimal integers is that they are easy for
humans to read. But 40-digit decimal numbers?

Maybe you could show your code. MP and DP can be tricky, but when you
CVDG the high D-word, you'd then multiply it by
9,223,372,036,854,775,808, then by 2 (or something equivalent). Add
to what you CVDG from the low D-word.
Of course, this will overflow if the value is too large for 31 digits,

I got this answe
I got this answer from someone else at IBM, who is an expert in the vector
instructions:
"Currently to convert a 128-bit singed/unsigned integer in a vector register to
a packed decimal value you must store the value to memory and use the standard
integer conversion instruction CVBG to convert
