Hello,
I use VS COBOL 11 on Mainframes. COMP-0 and COMP-X are not supported. Can someone let me know the VS COBOL equivalent of these ?
Thanks in advance. |

Where do you use COMP-0 and COMP-X ?
What date type do they discribe?

Both are binary datatypes.
One common use of COMP-X is for extended filestatus byte in Microfocus COBOL (according to various sources, COMP-X is a Microfocus extension NOT supported in standard mainframe COBOL...) |

Hello Mike and welcome to the forums,
Thanx for the info.
Please take a minute and remove your e-addr from your signature - there have been problems with spammers geting folks' e-addrs and doing bad things. . .
Also, please note this topic is well over a year old (we probably won't get much action on this one  ).
Enjoy the forums and let any of us if you have any questions. |
