Cobol编号为php编号

Question

I know nothing about Cobol but am working with a system that exports numbers to that format.

Here is what I am given:

Format: 9(05)V99

Input: 2380001

Needed Output is a decimal number

Preferable I would like example code in php on how to convert this. I read http://www.pgrocer.net/Cis12/cobol3.html but I don't understand this.

Answer 1

In COBOL, this represents a number with implied decimal places. The "V" denotes the location of the decimal point. In PHP, you would take this value and divide by 100 to get the same value that a COBOL program would use while processing.
