If you are referring conversion of COMP-3 values to decimals, here is the logic. The same can be altered to do the reverse.
1. Find the ascii value of the first character of the COMP-3 field.
2. Divide the value by 16 and store the quotient in a variable. (string)
3. If the remainder is > 0 then concatenate it with the string above.
4. Repeat the steps till you read all the characters of the comp-3 field (or) quotient is zero (or) ascii value is 12.
