Hi keerthi,

What you show are not COMP-3 values. The following can be:

10055
22506
135500

If you DISPLAY them, as in DISPLAY PD-VAL, they will look like this:

1005E
2250F
13550{ (it may be "}", I forget which). Try it and let us know.

If you wrote them to a file record and you looked at them in the rec via ISPF edit and you entered "hex" in the cmd line, they would look like this:

105
05C

256
20C

0350
150C
