Hi,
I was trying to add few columns along the same row. I used the code as listed below using ice tool. My expected O/P is in the form of ZD but i was getting something different.
| Code: |
OUTREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,
OVERLAY=(406:C'00000{',412:C'00000{',
418:(365,14,ZD,ADD,337,14,ZD,ADD,323,14,ZD,TO=ZD,LENGTH=14)))
|
Th I/P file has Lrecl of 433 (FB) and so as the O/P.
the fields which i want to sum up is of length 14. The corresponding Cobol declaration is "S9(10)V9(4)".
My field A,B,C has the following values:
A= 0000000209120M
B= 0000000000000{
C= 0000000000000{
My O/P is something like this: 2091204- (Even though the computed value is correct, it is not displayed as 0000000209120M).
Pls let me know whats wrong and pls try to suggest a solution in ICETool rather than in ice man or in other ... (Because this particular case is one of the condition which needs to be implemented in a single control card... )
Thanks in Advance. |

| I think the O/P is editted before they are displayed... Pls let me know if there is any way to display the ZD value as it is (without editting or formatting) ... |

I'm not sure how you're getting what you say you're getting. M is X'D4' which is a -4. With TO=ZD, you should get a D sign. But your syntax does seem to have the parens in the wrong places. Try this:
| Code: |
OUTREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,
OVERLAY=(406:C'00000{',412:C'00000{',
418:(365,14,ZD,ADD,337,14,ZD,ADD,323,14,ZD),TO=ZD,LENGTH=14))
|
You can also use TO=ZDF if you want an F sign for positive values or TO=ZDC if you want a C sign for positive values. For DFSORT, TO=ZDF and TO=ZD are equivalent. |

I have to multiply a big number ( 9(10)V9(4) with another 9(10)V9(4) ) so i ll get a number larger than the 10 digits. If I mention the length as 10, will this not truncate the result. How do i make sure that there is no overflow/truncation in the result.Any specific method to identify.Pls clarify me on this.
Thanks, |

To avoid overflow, just use a LENGTH=n value that will allow for the largest result possible. The number of digits can be up to 31. n can be up to 44 (to allow for separators, etc). So, for example, you could use
...,TO=ZD,LENGTH=31 |
