Explain Parse-Fixed-Binary and Parse-Packed-Decimal with an example
Is there any content in PDN which explains Parse-Fixed-Binary and Parse-Packed-Decimal methods in detail other than Pega help.
- In what scenarios should they be used ?
- what kind of value should be passed as input ?

Hi Dilip,
The Parse-Fixed-Binary method extracts fixed binary data from the input byte stream into a clipboard property value. The bytes are converted into a Java long value.
Parse-Packed-Decimal is used to extract packed decimal data from the byte stream into a clipboard property value.
Parse-Fixed-Binary and Parse-Fixed-Decimal is nicely explained with example in the below link. Pls have a look.

Nope, same content from help is told in the link for Parse-Fixed-Decimal and Parse-Fixed-Binary, although other mapping rules are explained well.
I am looking for examples with input and output values for these two methods and also the scenarios in which these will be used.

Hi Dilip,
Did you check the transcript along with the video. Transcript has some example for both the parse type.

Checked the transcript, it doesn't have an example for Parse-Fixed-Binary or Parse-Packed-Decimal, just the same content from help.
