Support for COBOL packed decimal data format and EBCDIC support #21

Closed srbala closed 6 years ago

srbala commented 9 years ago

I am new to flatpack library.Support for COBOL packed decimal data format and EBCDIC support, not sure flatpack supports it.

Scanned through documentation and samples, I am not able to locate how to read/write COBOL packed decimal data COMP, COMP-3 etc.

Is flatpack support these? if not, any plan to support in future?

Hi

Could you provide an example how this big decimal is represented in text?

You can use FlatPack to get strings out of the file, you would then simply need to parse the string.

Packed data is applicable only for binary data format. I will find for some spec and post it here.

So your question would be...does FlatPack handle binary files with a definition for fixed width?

Good question...I have never tried...I doubt there won't be any glitches... Would love if you could try it and let us know.

Thanks
