| Hi All,
I have been working on this problem for a few hours and still can't
figure out how the numeric value are encoded
Chr(0) + Chr( 0 ) + Chr( 192 ) + Chr( 65 ) should be decoded to 24
Here I attach a file it is embedded Chr(0) i use Multi-Edit to view the
file where you have 10 differente sample and documentation about the
structure of the file.
In this file i did sample with value of 0.01 to 0.10 for 1 specific
field but there is other field updated as well
Does anyone have an idea about how to decode these value ?

| What platform (Wintel, Unix, Mainframe, MAC, etc.) did the file come
from? What was the original extension of the file? Are you in
possession of the application that modifies this file?
Any additional information might help us to help you.

It is DOS base program and very very old "1988", i have the application
working but i want to get rid of it and replace it by an xHarbour
application.
The sample i provided are extracted from the file originaly called
ITEMZ01.V90 with a small utility i wrote i was able to find that every
record is 290char in length all text field where easyly extracted but i
am puzzle with all the numeric value.
