I would like to pack a max of 25 characters (containing numeric values '0' - '9'] into a database varchar(25) field. In order to do this, I use BCD encoding. However, when I print the BCD encoded string, it results in some non-printable character. I have following questions?
1. Can I use, a varchar datatype in the database, to store non-printable characters
2. Is there anyway, I could represent characters ['0' - '9'] in BCD format without using non-printable characters?
The packed decimal value will be converted to a string and subsequently sent over SOAP/XML to the SOAP server.
Appreciate your help
thanks

The underlying database is DB2
Thanks for your help.
