1. What is the maximum limit for length for a COBOL copybook?
2. What is internal storage for COMP and COMP-3 for a value "12547"?
3. What is maximum value (in bytes and value) that can be passed from jcl to COBOL thru parm
4. What is maximum value (in bytes and value) that can be passed from jcl to COBOL thru sysin?..
5. How many values can be acceptable in one ACCEPT in COBOL.. |

COMP is compiler dependent... where as COMP-3 would store it in Hex format.

Hi,

COMP 2 bytes
COMP-3 3 bytes
HI Priyesh,
As far as I know, the memory allocated isn't compiler dependent but the # of accessable digits may be restricted to the PIC digits depending on the comiler option selected at compile time. |

COMP - 4 bytes ( as comp takes 4 bytes for (s9(05) - s9(09))
COMP-3 3 bytes
correct me if i am wrong..... |

If you read from a SYSIN DD statement there basically is NO limit to the volume of data. "Bytes and value" are not relevant when reading data from a DD.
If i misunderstood the question, please let me know. |

Hi Jain,
Finally got the energy to ans this:

In a way we're both right. It depends on the TRUNC option selected at compile time.
If TRUNC(BIN) then I'm right. If any other, you are.
Example: even if my field, using TRUNC(BIN), was defined as PIC 9 COMP it will accept a value up to 32767. |
