Translate COMP-5

[broussea1901]

Hi,
We are trying to translate a COMP-5 S9(10) field.
COMP-5 does not seems do be managed in the SERDE, shall we use COMP-4 instead or is there another option ?
Thanks

Comp 3 comp 4 fields are working perfectly fine in this code. I have checked the code. Code for comp 5 isn't there. Try comp 4.

Comp-4 only returns null values.
Anyone has successfully convert a Comp-5 using comp-4 layout ?
Thanks

@broussea1901 Is it possible for you to provide sample file with comp-5 field and also explain how to deserialize the raw comp-5 bytes. I will try to implement the method.

@danrosenfe Do you have any input data with COMP-5 fields?

Hello, @rbheemana!

Sorry for the delay to reply.

We have created a file and book with the purpose of exemplifying the main types of numerical declaration of cobol, including comp-5. There are examples of comp, comp-1, comp-2, comp3, and raw statement.

In this documentation we obtain the ranges in value of COMP-5 data item, so there are 6 variables for this type of compression.

Please let me know if this consolidated example is sufficient or if you prefer something separate.
