Hi dbzTHEdinosauer,
I am not sure what are you looking for. If you want to show the value of last character by separating the '-' or some special character then you can defined them as.
The above table issue can be resolved by us SIGN clause used in COBOL
you can use below syntax -
SIGN IS (LEADING) SEPARATE CHARACTER(TRAILING)
The default is SING IS TRAILING WITH NO SEPARATE CHARACTER
It is applicable only when the picture clause contain 'S' and 'S' does not take any space. It is stored with last digit.
Supose Number is = -125
Trailing Size(Defalut) = 12N
Leading sign = J25
Leading separate = -125.
Whenever you use 'S' in your picture clause the above your mentioned table come in picture. The above is the appropriate method to split last character.
Thanks & Regards,
Mohan Nagnath Narayankar  |

mnnarayankar,
You have joined way back in 2008. I am surprised still you are unable to distinguish between a "question" and a "useful information". (Also that you are not familiar with dbz  ) |

And at least look at the date-of-the-post, why to answer in a year old thread..
So Dick, what do you want - state clearly. . |
