s9(4) Comp-3 will take (n+1)/2 = 2.5 = 3 bytes.
9(4) Comp-3 will take n/2 = 2 bytes.
For Parm Parameter Refer Chapter 1 in Mvs Jcl Primer by Saba Zamir.
Corrections are Welcome... |

Declaration Value Internal representation
PIC S9(4) COMP-3 + 1234 01 23 4C
PIC 9(4) COMP-3 1234 01 23 4F
so for both it is 3 bytes |

Hi,
Ajay is correct. It will take 3 bytes. In case of COMP-3 variable the sign is stored rightmost half a byte of character as it is the representation of packed decimal. It is not a fact that S is mentioned or not. |
