Hi All,

I'm looking at a field in a dataset. It's an X40 field but it seems that the 
data stored in it is server integers "packed" by a Cobol program. I've used 
the program to change the values that are stored in this field and the data 
is indeed changing but I cannot figure out how the data is actually stored. 
Is there a formula on how one would unpack a field that has been packed by a 
Cobol program?

Thanks,
Pete
