Hi Bhat,
Sync clause is specified with comp, comp-1,comp-2 items.
These items are expected to start at half/full/double word boundaries.
But this introduces slack bytes . |

| The SYNCHRONIZED clause specifies the alignment of an elementary item on a natural boundary in storage.The SYNCHRONIZED clause is never required, but can improve performance on some systems for binary items used in arithmetic.When SYNCHRONIZED is not specified for binary items(comp),no space is reserved for slack bytes. |
