I'm not sure what you are asking -- if you want to print it out in
decimal, here's a good way to do it:
L R15,NUMBR Load number
CVD R15,DOUBLE Convert number to packed
MVC TEXT,PREFIX Move edit prefix to buffer
ED TEXT,DOUBLE+5 Edit number to prefix
....
PREFIX DS X'402020202120'
NUMBR DS H'123456' number to convert
DOUBLE DS D
TEXT DS CL6
At the end, TEXT will contain your decimal number.
I hope this helped...
