Yes.
Suggest you run a compile and look at the compiled output.

Here is quote from
Enterprise COBOL for z/OS Language Reference Version 4 Release 2
| Quote: |
When the assumed decimal point is to the right of
the rightmost symbol in the string, the V is
redundant. |

| Yes, what is that you want to try it out? V is implied Decimal point. |

hi
i tried with the below code
01 WAOR-ITEM-I PIC S9(9)V COMP-3 VALUE ZEROS.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
100-MAIN-PARA.
DISPLAY 'ENTERED MAIN PARA'
MOVE 123456789 TO WAOR-ITEM-I.
DISPLAY 'WAOR-ITEM-I :'WAOR-ITEM-I
GOBACK.
STOP RUN.
Result : 123456789
But when i tried after changing declaration to 01 WAOR-ITEM-I PIC S9(9)V9 COMP-3 VALUE ZEROS.
Result : 1234567890

As you were told, V is implied Decimal point.
When you display, '.'(dot) won't print.
try to move COMP-3 values to other variable with PIC 9(9).9 then display it. |

Your initial question was for S9(9)V but you tried for S9(9)V9

as we said this is assumed decimal point, and hence you could not see a dot. You can read more on this from the link provided at the top. |

Make one more change to the PIC using S(9)V99 and notice the output from the dsplay.
In your 2 examples there are 9 and 10 digits in the field definition. Mine has 11 digits. |
