Hi,
I have redefined a COMP variable as follows:
01 WS-TEST-VAR1 PIC S9(6) COMP.
01 WS-TEST-VAR2 REDEFINES WS-TEST-VAR1.
05 WS-TEST-VAR3 PIC X(2).
I moved +123456 to WS-TEST-VAR1
when I used display option against WS-TEST-VAR3, it is showing spaces. What could be the possible reason? I have used the compiler option TRUNC(STD) and TRUNC(BIN) |

Are you sure of this?
I guess you should get WS-TEST-VAR3 = x'0001'.. |

Did you do hex on while looking in spool.
Sometimes you get confused when nothing is displayed but in actual there may be some o/p.  |

| I think hex is off. What should be the correct output? should the variable value be truncated while displaying? |

I repeat,you should get WS-TEST-VAR3 = x'0001'.
Try doing hex on in spool o/p |

Muthu,
It's good that you tried but not with correct variable declaration.
Try with -
01 A1 PIC S9(6) COMP. And please let us know.. |

Don't be.
it is always better to try something instead of waiting for an answer.
Now explanation, why I was so sure of my answer..
COMP = Binary
1 bit sign and rest binary representation of number.
Now +123456 = 0000 0000 0000 0001 1110 0010 0100 0000
X(02) will overlap with first two bytes- so X'0001'.  |

Copy the Sysout to a Flat File of Record length 80 using XDC .
In the copied file ,open it in view mode and type "HEX ON " in command window.
You will see the required output in the below format
| Code: |
4004444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444
0010000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 |
See it in up-down fashion,and you will get the need. |

For SDSF it's SET HEX ON and SET HEX OFF

In HEX mode I got the required output. Thanks all for l your clarification.
One more question, when the hex is off, why should the data be shown as spaces? |

X'00' and X'01' are non displayable characters in EBCDIC code.
Space is X'40' so dont mistake non displayable characters with spaces.
see EBCDIC chart present in downloads section of this site.
Good luck. |

If you browse or view/edit a dataset, as opposed to SYSOUT, then the non-printing chars show as periods "." (as in a core dump).
HEX ON shows three rows:
top = display
2nd = left nibbles
3rd = right nibbles |
