hi,
Variable Declaration.
===============
01 ABC pic S9(9) comp-3.
Value
====
This variable is having value 123455633F.
But Comp-3 value can have either "C" or "D" as its last character to consider it has numeric.
Can anybody tell me why Comp-3 value gets 123455633F type of value?? 
This variable is satisfying non-numeric test.
waiting for your replies
Thanks |

hi all,
Please ignore the value i have given for that variable.
Correct value which it has got is 123455633F.
I was trying to make "F" bold, and it has come like that.
sorry for inconvenience
i want to know why it has got "F" in its last position instead of "C" or "D".
thank you |

That's because, you have disabled BBCODE while posting the query.

This is because your data is UNSIGNED Positive at COMP-3 storage format. So system will insert 1111. |

| You're right SOM. These sign codes have been around for many a year and are recognized for compatibility reasons. But are not generated by today's compilers/assemblers. |

Show us the field def and the instuction. Also the error msg.
Preferably use cut and paste to be sure the info is accurate and represents what you are seeing.
Thanx |
