1. Comp is used to save memory and time.
2. Comp field can be moved to "display usage" field on the file layout.
For more info, please refer manual.
Thanks. |

hey friend,
comp-1 and comp-2 dont have picture clause and they have predefined.
i thnk internal structure comp-1 and comp-2 are SV9(8)ES99 and SV9(17)ES99 respectively.
S indicates sign, V indicates implicit decimal place and E indicates exponent.
as this question is already answered by our friends i m just recalling it. i dont want to tell u go n search
