Hello Sha,
I don't think you can use "Rs" in a PICTURE clause. It will give compile error. But by using small trick you can do this.
| Code: |
01 I PIC 9(08) VALUE 100.
01 J.
05 J01 PIC X(02) VALUE 'Rs'.
05 J02 PIC 9(06).
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
MOVE I TO J02
DISPLAY J.
|
J will display Rs000100.
You can code 'Z' appropriately to suppress leading zeroes. |

Dear,
In VS COBOL II you can't use "RS" as currency sign symbol. But In IBM COBOL you can use 'RS" as your currency sign.
For example you can define like:
| Code: |
| CURRENCY SIGN IS 'RS' WITH PICTURE SYMBOL '$' |
While displaying 1500 in $9999 Pictured item, it shows as:
