    <p>Here's my version of a long to packed decimal method.</p> <pre><code>public class PackedDecimal { public static byte[] format(long number, int bytes) { byte[] b = new byte[bytes]; final byte minusSign = 0x0D; // Minus final byte noSign = 0x0F; // Unsigned String s = Long.toString(number); int length = s.length(); boolean isNegative = false; if (s.charAt(0) == '-') { isNegative = true; s = s.substring(1); length--; } int extraBytes = length - bytes + 1; if (extraBytes &lt; 0) { // Pad extra byte positions with zero for (int i = 0; i &lt; -extraBytes; i++) { b[i] = 0x00; } } else if (extraBytes &gt; 0) { // Truncate the high order digits of the number to fit s = s.substring(extraBytes); length -= extraBytes; extraBytes = 0; } // Translate the string digits into bytes for (int i = 0; i &lt; length; i++) { String digit = s.substring(i, i + 1); b[i - extraBytes] = Byte.valueOf(digit); } // Add the sign byte if (isNegative) { b[bytes - 1] = minusSign; } else { b[bytes - 1] = noSign; } return b; } public static void main(String[] args) { long number = -456L; byte[] b = PackedDecimal.format(number, 5); System.out.println("Number: " + number + ", packed: " + byteToString(b)); number = 0L; b = PackedDecimal.format(number, 5); System.out.println("Number: " + number + ", packed: " + byteToString(b)); number = 5823L; b = PackedDecimal.format(number, 5); System.out.println("Number: " + number + ", packed: " + byteToString(b)); number = 123456L; b = PackedDecimal.format(number, 5); System.out.println("Number: " + number + ", packed: " + byteToString(b)); } public static String byteToString(byte[] b) { StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); for (int i = 0; i &lt; b.length; i++) { sb.append("0x"); sb.append(Integer.toHexString((int) b[i]).toUpperCase()); sb.append(" "); } return sb.toString(); } } </code></pre> <p>And here are the test results.</p> <pre><code>Number: -456, packed: 0x0 0x4 0x5 0x6 0xD Number: 0, packed: 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0xF Number: 5823, packed: 0x5 0x8 0x2 0x3 0xF Number: 123456, packed: 0x3 0x4 0x5 0x6 0xF </code></pre>

    1. COI will try it out. Thank you for your response :)

    2. COOh, by the way, is this possible without the `int bytes` parameter? I mean, is there anyway I can retrieve the byte array size from the converted String itself?

    3. CO@Miguel Portugal: You could, but normally packed decimal fields on an IBM computer are of a fixed size, irregardless of the content. A packed decimal field is almost always an even number of bytes.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
