| Subject: | Perserving character format on output output of a numeric value |
|---|
I have read in an input file and one of the variables is ACCT_TXT which is
defined has :$48. (character).
And it hums along unitl it comes to some numbers in the field and it
sometimes outputs them in exponential notation(whenever number is greater
than 9 digits long) and I want it left in regular number format
(character)...
see below:
ACCT_CODE ACCT_TXT
METL7079 IMCS CICS APPL SECURITY
METL7088 MET REVIEW STATS
METL7105 UHC CUSTOMER RPTG
METL7108 MICR REPRINT
METL9340 UNITED FRONT END
METL9885 LASER NET
METP0001 2.00107E+11
METP0002 301230912
The 2.00107E+11 should read 200107201413...
I can I preserve the actual numeric number versus the exponential it
outputs???
Thanks, Jim
