    Thanks for the reply.


    Given there is no syntax to specify unsigned values in the assembler definition, I suppose what I need is an option at the record level.


    eg

    //JAVA EXEC PROC=EXJZOSVM,VERSION='80',COND=(4,LE)

    //MAINARGS DD *

    com.ibm.jzos.recordgen.asm.RecordClassGenerator

    section=Do_Action

    bufoffset=true

    package=com.jsh.ctm.dao.internal

    class=DoAction

    outputDir=~/asmgen

    GenUnsignedZoned=true <==

    This RFE is understood, and the current behaviour of generating signed values from AssemblerDatatypeFactory.getExternalDecimalAsIntField() is due to the fact that unlike COBOL, Assembler zoned decimals don't provide an option for unsigned declarations.
    Is the requirement to have an option per Java record to generate unsigned values, or is it required to have an option per DC definition?
