Nobody here can help you unless you post the code of your site-specific custom routine: ConvertToDataTypePicComp. That's not a routine that ships with the product.

Why not just use the CFF stage?

Sure it is, it's included in the sdk along with a number of other similar conversions.

Maybe my memory is faulty... I thought the whole set in the sdk was for converting from COMP. I don't remember a set for converting to COMP.

All I have here is V8 where that routine does not exist, but do recall that the original SDK cobol conversion routines went in both directions (I happen to have quite intimate knowledge of that code).

Well, maybe it's my memory that's faulty then.
I know there are conversion routines out there, let me check... ack, you are correct.
From is the supplied direction,
to routines must be home brewed. Mea Culpa.
