Many thanks to all who replied my 'Data from IBM mainframe' question.  The zoned decimal format ZDw.  is the right answer.  Actually I got the better answer I than I was asking for.  A few years ago when I first had this kind of data, I used SUBSTR( )  and a 'little table' somebody told me 'J is -1, K is -2 ......'.  Now I know ZDw. can do the trick.
