Hi thank you for the fast response.
I see its returning Alpha numeric value that is more than 5 digit but I actually I need 5 digit numerical code. Do you have any idea how to achieve this.

I can only see this method in the StringUtils class in the Engine API.
Hi Alejandro,
The syntax of using toPackedDecimal method from com.pega.pegarules.pub.util.StringUtils class as follows,
public static byte[] toPackedDecimal(java.lang.String aPackedString, boolean isSigned, int digits, int decimals)aPackedString- string containing decimal value.isSigned- whether produce signed value or notdigits- number of digits in the whole part of the numberdecimals- the number of implied decimal places.
