what is a zoned decimal data type and how it will be stored?

Answer Posted / app

Zoned decimal is the numeric format used for display usage.
For an unsigned field the digits in the field are
represented by EBCDIC code (F0 thru F9).In a signed number
the zoned bit in the right mosted byte of the field are
either hex C for postive or hex D for negative.

eg:F0 F0 F1 F2 F3 unsigned 234

F0 F0 F1 F2 C3 signed +234
F0 F0 F1 F2 D3 signed -234
