Does anyone have any pointers/snippets/links for working summing zoned decimal data? I am working on a perl program to replace the functionality of 'syncsort' and have gotten to an option that summarizes fields in the datafiles, and it's in a 'zoned decimal' format. This portion of code will take the sorted file, and based on key fields, summarize other fields, and put back one record into the output.
I haven't done anything like that. Do these help at all? http://search.cpan.org/search/?query=zoned+decimal&mode=all http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/pack.html http://www.google.com/search?q=perl+"zoned+decimal"; I'm sure we could help with general Perl questions. :) j
