The COMP and COMP-3 indicate how the value is stored in memory. The compiler takes care of the conversion from one form to the other.
01 VAR1 PIC S9(5) COMP-3.
01 VAR2 PIC S9(4) COMP.
MOVE VAR1 To VAR2.
Your concern here should be the size of the fields. If the value in VAR1 is less than -32768 or greater than 32767 the result will be incorrect because of truncation and switching of the sign.

i think it moves right four digits only.. no problem with sighn..
.. if you have 5 digit number then you miss the highest digit. i.e left side digit because right justified. |
