Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

Hi,

I've defined a MAP using SDF II and using an input field which I intend to store in a DB2 table as decimal. So I've declared it as comp-3 in the program but the map from SDF-II would make the field defined as PIC 9(n) as PIC X(n) - and that makes me to put extra code to handle the input values from the user. Is there a better way to do it?

That's the annoying quirk of SDF II - unless 'am mistaken 'the extra code' will be needed. Though I'm not very sure if the SDF II can provide remedy of its own!

Thanks Anuj. You're correct. I too could not find it.

Thanks for the feedback. But I just hope that we'll get some one more experienced with SDF II and prove us wrong .
