Comp3 value Reading from flatfile using java

Hi ,

I have a flatfile genarated by the mainframe.

It contains mainframe database records.

And I need to read the flatfile using java.

But the problem is, in the cobol they have defined some of the column as

Pic s9(11) v9(2) usage comp-3.

When i look that in the flatfile it is looking like a garbage.

Is there any way I can read it in the java.

Could anyone please let me know as much early as possible.

Thanks.
