#15 Issue in parsing Zoned Decimal

[Anonymous]

Hi ,

I am trying to read mainframe fixed length file using copybook in java. Facing issue in parsing "PIC S9(10)V9(5)"

Code snippet is as below.
jar version used Jrecord-0.90

~~~java
try {
AbstractLineReader reader = ioProvider.getLineReader(
Constants.IO_BIN_TEXT, Convert.FMT_MAINFRAME,
CopybookLoader.SPLIT_NONE, copybookName, vendorFile
);

        while ((line = reader.read()) != null) {
            lineNumber += 1;
            brokerage_acct_pstn data = new brokerage_acct_pstn();
            data.setSUBACCTTYPCDE(line.getFieldValue("ACCT-TYPE").toString().trim());
            line.getFieldValue("QUANTITY").asBigDecimal();

~~~

Issue faced

net.sf.JRecord.Common.RecordException: QUANTITY: Invalid Zoned Decimal: •#

Sample data for this field is below
500000{

Is there anything which I am doing wrong as in format , filetype etc

Thanks

Can you provide file / copybook ???

For PIC S9(10)V9(5) I would expect 15 byte field. 500000{ is to short does it have zero padding ???
