Hi Prashu,

You can DISPLAY a comp-3 value. The verb converts the data to diplay format. The problem is that the low order digit will not display as numeric if the field is a signed numeric and the sign position contains something other than an "F". But this is the samme when numeric display fields are DISPLAYed.

So, the lo-ord digit DISPLAYs as below:
For positive numbers (+):

0 {
1 A
2 B
3 C
4 D
5 E
6 F
7 G
8 H
9 I

For negative numbers (-):

0 {
1 J
2 K
3 L
4 M
5 N
6 O
7 P
8 Q
9 R

So a -1234 will DISPLAY as 123M a +1234 as 123D and an unsigned 1234 as 1234.

P.S. I may have the {} reversed. Did this from memory and at my age...
