Forgot to add something concerning my last post on packed...

[Michael Lee <MLee@APPGROUP.COM>]

Re-sending this message.
Left a few things out.

It may be easier to just write the COBOL program.

I forgot to add that my response is for Packed Comp-3.
Packed Comp-3 poses a problem.

If you just convert the last digit, I believe you are just handling the
signed part.  The rest of the number is still in question.

It is possible Eric.  You just have to convert the numbers(last digit)
to EBCDIC.  I have the routine to do that, would just have to find it.
Can probably e-mail it to you tomorrow.
