I don't think there is a standard conversion to do this - I've always had to write a little subroutine to deal with it. I would post the program, but I'm not on the system today.

Hummm, Is there anyone that can help me with number conversion? I need to convert a negative monetary amount pulled in by FMT(OCONV(X.AMOUNT, "MD"), "8\0R") to meet S9(6)V99 or Z8.2 format. COBOL programmers may recognize this comp-3 format - padded with leading zeros the right most character must use an EBCDIC symbol to reflect a negative amount:} = 0, J = neg. 1, K = neg. 2, L = neg. 3 ... R = neg. 9. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
