Hi all, In the ADABAS file desired field is defined in PACKED format as shown below. 3 2 PCR-ID P 9.0 I want to see the value of PCR-ID. For this I red the above file in Natural program. After reading this file i used DISPLAY statement to see the value of PCR-ID. but i am getting only 5 digits. please let me know why it is happening. or suggest me other technique to see the value of PACKED format fields. ---

What does your DISPLAY statement look like ? And what its output ? If the field contains just 5 “significant digits” and leading zeroes, DISPLAY will just print the 5 digits unless you use an edit mask asking for leading zeroes to be printed, e.g. (EM=999999999) ---
