If it's aligned - PIC 9(04) COMP-5 SYNC -
If it's unaligned - PIC 9(04) COMP-5 -
O R -
In your example, choose unaligned (either one). |

In COBOL, all fields which are defined as "binary" are defined identically in storage.
That is,usage COMP-5 is defined in exactly the same way as BINARY/COMP/COMP-5.
What is different in COBOL about those fields is the code that is generated to use them.
Assembler doesn't generate code for you.
If you want a field in Assembler to behave as if it were a COMP-5 in COBOL, then you're going to have to produce equivalent code, not equivalent definitions. |
