#22 how to parse byte array using JRecord with reading from file

[Anonymous]

I have already read data file and have bytearray of single line which needs to be parsed by jrecord with copybook to read all packed decimal fields.

Is there a way to do that?
or
what is the logic to parse COMP and COMP3 packed decimal fields?

[Bruce Martin]

try something like

ICobolIOBuilder iob = JRecordInterface1.COBOL.newIOBuilder("CobolCopybookFileName")
        .setFont("characterSetName");
AbstractLine line = iob.newLine(byteArray);
BigDecimal bd = line.getFieldValue("Comp-3-Field-name").asBigDecimal();

Also have a look at the examples.
