This article was previously published under Q191453 SYMPTOMS
An attempt to display an IBM OS/390 packed decimal record field as
converted to the DECIMAL or NUMERIC automation type results in errors. The
first manifestation, generally, is that there is no data to display, for
example, in a Visual Basic text box.
WORKAROUND

successfully.
STATUS

AS/400 and VSAM component of Microsoft SNA Server version 4.0 SP1.
