So, I'm working with ISO8583, a "standard" (HAHAHAH!!!!!) The "standard"
allows but does not require, BCD encoding of numerical data. Which may or
may not have a BCD-encoded numerical length prefix. The prefix may or may
not be 1 to 3 bytes in length. Or the data might come with no prefix, and
be right justified in a fixed width field of known size. Or left justified.
So hard to tell these days.
But I ramble. So I was just wanting to ask if anyone here has any simple
BCD conversion routines.
But, actually, ignore the subject line. Just shoot me.
