Hello,
How is this defined in the dclgen? What is the host-variable definition?
Looking at the value, it could be a zoned-decimal value. I have no idea what the T/3 represents. |

When looked into the copybook of the table the definition for this field is S9(7) COMP3 VAR.
It contains data like 5646.76657+
I need the following clarifications.
1. What does the T, which contains 3 represents?
2. Does this VAR in S9(7) COMP3 VAR a part of the definition? If so what does it mean?
3. It is containing data with decimal values, but there is no mention of it in the definition. I mean there is no V9(5) in the definition. How is it possible to have decimal values without V in the definition?
Please do clarify. |

Where/how do you see this value?

I believe that is not compilable cobol source. . . Where did it come from?

By scaling the value in the code.
For us to be able to help, you need to post better information. From what you have posted so far, all we can recommend os to dig deeper into your system or find others more familiar with this data & code. |

| What compute language is that copy book for? COMP3 and VAR are not valid for COBOL. In COBOL a decimal value does not have to have V in the picture, if there is not one then it is assumed to be after the rightmost digit. |
