Posted: Fri Jan 11, 2013 12:48 am
The last byte of the EBCIDIC source filed ( EX. FIELD1 decimal 9,5) is null indicator,
Which will be hex "00" if a value is held,
and a "?" character (hex "6F") if the field is null.
example
1) There will be 5 decimal places.
So 1234.56789 will be held as hex "123456789C00" (including the null indicator).
2)
So 1234.5678? will be held as hex "123456789C6F" (including the null indicator).
