Converts the specified value from internal encoding from/to densely packed decimal encoding
Notes:
Decimal values are represented internaly using
binary integer _decimal encoding,
supported by Intel (BID).
This function converts the specified value to/from
densely packed _decimal encoding,
supported by IBM (DPD).
Please note that a DPD encoded _decimal cannot be passed to a function from this module, there is no way
to determine if a _decimal value is BID-encoded or DPD-encoded, all functions will assume a BID-encoding.
