Declaration

A - S9(10)V9(7) comp-3.
F - S9(7)V9(10) COMP-3.
KA - S9(7)V9(10) COMP-3.

PWA - 99v99.

COMPUTE A = A +
(PWA - AH(PINDX1 PINDX2) * (F ** K))

here I calculating A value. This code is working fine but its consuming more CPU time so I want to change instead of comp-3 to comp2 or comp-1 (which place I can use comp-2 or comp-1 Please let me know)

Please let me know how can change comp-3 to comp-2 or comp-1. It will give improvement or not.

Comp-3 will occupy the 9 bytes but we are converting comp-3 to comp-2 it will occupy the 8 bytes so we need to change layout also other How?

Could you please advise on this?

make all your variables of the same type, suggest packed-decimal.

you have a mix of comp-3 and display.

1. don't send me private messages.

2. you did not respond to either reply. what you have provided is garbage. you have variables in your compute that you have not declared.

read up on the compute statement in the programmer manual for your version of cobol.

if you think making them binary will help, you need to read.
