How the packed field be represented in AS400? I see some special characters where the data type is packed. How can i see the actual value of the data in this packed field?
I tried an F10 & F11. But finding the data in hex.

That's because the data is in hex.IS there any way to get my data as it is?
You're already seeing it as it is -- it is in hex.
Now, if you want to see it formatted, then apply a report to it and format it in whatever way you choose. Usually, the easiest way is to use the RUNQRY command and specify the name of the file in the QRYFILE() parameter.
