COMP-3 data with CFF Stage

Post by dickfong »

Hello,

We are using CFF stage to code convert our host data (EBCDIC) to UNIX (ASCII) for transformation.

According to the COBOL definition, COMP-3 field with '0d' should be marked "-ve" sign. However, we found that CFF returns "+ve" values

Is it a bug in CFF? Or do we understand COMP-3 conversion wrong? Please advice. Thank you

Hi Fong,
We are also in the same sinario couple of days back,
Our data looks right, I don't know what is your case but we are using the DS7- CFF stage
We are getting a binary file and we are using the same scinario.
I will look in to the problem again and try to solve it.
Thanks,
Neena
