How can I convert HP260 encoded numeric values ?
The HP260 uses a different format to encode REAL and SHORT variables.
The conversion is usually handled automatically by Eloquence
unless you stored PACKED strings in a DATA file or a data set.
In this case you need to unpack and convert the data manually.
The CVREAL
program provides an example how to convert HP260 encoded BCD data.
