Expecting Decimal point in COMPUTE verb

Hi guys,
In a program I am using
01 WS-VALUE1 PIC9(10) VALUE 2336440320
01 WS-COMPUTED-VALUE PIC9(02)V9(03)

Compute WS-COMPUTED-VALUE ROUNDED = (WS-VALUE1/3999999999)*100

The result i am getting is 5841.

I am expecting is 58.41

Could you please provide me some solution for this

Thanks

Hello,

I'd recomend placing periods at the end of your statements.

In this

How do you know you are getting 5841 rather than 58.41?

Hello again,

With the implied and then the explicit decimal point
