Has anyone come up with a better way to convert a 64 bit binary number to
decimal then the way I did it?
Here is what I did:
LG R1,WKCELLD
CVDG R1,LONG
* UNPK 0(11,R7),LONG(6) FIRST 6 BYTES ARE ALWAYS ZERO
UNPK 0(11,R7),LONG+5(6)
UNPK 10(11,R7),LONG+10(6)
OI 20(R7),X'F0'
To be precise, you are converting 64bit binary to zoned decimal unedited.
How about:
LG R1,WKCELLD
CVDG R1,LONG
mvc 0(17,R7),edpat
ed 0(17,R7),long
edpat dc x'4020202020202020202020202020202020'
You haven't told us how long the target field pointed
at by R7 is, but it's at least 21 bytes judging by
your OI instruction. So I've just used the first 17
bytes. The field LONG must, of course, be 16 bytes
on a quadword boundary.
