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)


Convert a string to byte array encoded as packed decimal data(COMP-3).


Parameters:

aPackedString - string containing decimal value.

isSigned - whether produce signed value or not

digits - number of digits in the whole part of the number

decimals - the number of implied decimal places.

Returns:

result

Hope this helps you to achieve your requirement.

Regards,

Mahesh

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.
