Post by srinath51 »

Hi ALL,
i want to know can the Datastage generate the Packed decimal format...

It won't be a "text" file if you write packed decimal data to it.

You can certainly write a packed decimal to an output sequential file though. Just go into the column properties and add the additional property... don't recall off the top of my head what it is called, but it is pretty obvious when looking at the property descriptions.
