converting the data type in unix shell script
I am writing a unix shell script that will extract records from table and write into a file.
Code:
======================================
#! /bin/ksh
############################
#   AFI Monitor Script
############################
. /db2/uszlad48/sqllib/db2profile
export mondir=/home/bmwdev1/script/krishna/arc
export monlog=$mondir/r1.log
# connect to DB
db2 connect to r2pdev user bmwdevup using summer08
# extract the records from the table ZB_RCBL_ERROR_MSG_MIG
db2 -x "SELECT A.LINE_OF_BUSINESS, A.USER_UPDATED, A.ERROR_STATUS_CD, A.STATE_CD, A.AGENT_DIST, A.AGENT_ID, A.COMPANY_CD, A.REGION_CD, A.PLCY_CONTRACT_NUM, A.EFF_DT, A.BILLING_ACCT_NUM, A.PREMIUM_AMT, B.MSG_NUM, B.MSG_ID, B.MSG_TYP, B.MSG_TEXT FROM BMWDEV1.ZB_RCBL_ERROR A, BMWDEV1.ZB_RCBL_ERROR_MSG B WHERE A.TRACKING_NUM = B.TRACKING_NUM AND A.TRACKING_NUM_SUFFIX = B.TRACKING_NUM_SUFFIX AND A.TIMESTAMP_UPDATED >= '2008-10-01-00.00.00.000000' AND A.TIMESTAMP_UPDATED < '2008-10-05-00.00.00.000000' WITH UR" >> $monlog
# disconnect from DB2
db2 terminate
exit 0
======================================

Following is the output I have got by executing this script
Code:
F                R2P          E               22       02         102      B21        08        929460723         10/07/2008 M866516384            -1669.46 002                          I       One or more uncleared errored receivables for the policy

The problem what i am facing is the field Premium_amt is available in the file in character format. I going to FTP this text file to mainframe. There they will format the data. While formatting they have to add the premium amount. If it is available character format we will not be able to sum all the premium amount. If it is avilable in packed decimal we will convert into decimal and will sum it up.
Can anyone help me to fix this problem.

Code:
F2='myjcl.jcl'
echo "
verbose
open mvsnode
user myuser mypass
-- getting mainframe jcl
get 'PROD.AAAA.JCLLIB(@XXXXXXX)' $F2
quote site submit
put $F2
quit
" > $F1

use quote site submit your jcl 'PROD.AAAA.JCLLIB(@XXXXXXX)' to do a data conversion on the file you just placed over there.

I want the field PREMIUM_AMT to be in packed decimal format.

Code:
-1669.46
237.60
1772.29
1150.00
1824.93


Currently this field is in character format.

I am trying to write a shell script to convet into packed decimal (comp -3) format.

Please advice.

I don't know how fractions are handled, but I think this will convert integers:

Code:
case $n in
  -*) sign=D ;;
  *) sign=C ;;
esac
while [ -n "$n" ]
do
  printf "%x" "'$n"
  n=${n#?}
done
echo "$sign"

If you know the formula, please post it, and I'll write a script to do the conversion.
