I have an interesting problem. I have to send some data in flat file
form to an old computer that still uses signed overpunch numbers where
the high order bit of the last digit contains a 1 if the number is
negative. Does anyone have any ideas of how to do this. The only
thing I can think of is making a pl/sql procedure to convert the
number to a string. It would also save me some time if anyone has
already written such a procedure. Thanks for your help!!
