Hi all,
I have a amount field in my Input file containing Comp-3 value and I want it to convert into comp-2 value .
Can I declare the Input amount field as AMOUNT PIC S9(11)V99 COMP-3.
and the output amount field as OUT-AMOUNT PIC S9(11)V99.
and can I move the amount like this
MOVE AMOUNT TO OUT-AMOUNT.
will it work,But for me I am getting S0C7 abend if I Convert like this.
Please suggest me the proper syntax. |

we can do it by using Redefine clause.
AMOUNT PIC S9(11)V99 COMP-3.
OUT-AMOUNT REDEFINES AMOUNT PIC S9(11)V99 COMP-2. |

Yes . As Mainframe_help1 said you can redefine it. There is some correction in his code too.
To mainframe_help1,
You can not code like you have coded because comp-2 does not have pic clause.
In addition to that please go through the below link to get some information.

Thanks,

| I apologize for being thick-headed, but how can you expect to redefine a Packed-Decimal as floating-point? |

Dick: you can redefine a packed decimal value to floating point by completely and totally changing the value, making it pretty much unrelated to the original value? Alternate explanation: person doing the posting has absolutely no clue about internal formats of packed decimal and floating point numbers?
Why not use
| Code: |
03 AMOUNT PIC S9(11)V99 COMP-3.
03 OUT-AMOUNT COMP-2.
.
.
.
IF AMOUNT NUMERIC
MOVE AMOUNT TO OUT-AMOUNT
END-IF. |
Note that the IF test is critical since the original problem staement indicated that there's a very good chance the AMOUNT field is not numeric to start with. |

Why is comp-2 mentioned? Moving packed-decimal (PIC S9(11)V99 COMP-3) to zoned-decimal (PIC S9(11)V99) is completely valid - providing the comp-3 data is properly signed numeric. If it is not, there will be an 0c7.
Why do you believe you want/need floating-point? Rarely (if ever) is packed-decimal business data moved to a floating-point field. . . |
