Can u Explain with an Example how to override the Compiler options,
to work numeric items of length greater than 18?
I tried to put
CBL arith(extend) before Identifcation section.
but it gives compiler error of maxxcc=8 , saying the statement is found but discrded.. |

You can give ARITH (EXTEND) in your compiler JCL. Compiler options are passed to IGYCRCTL (Compiler program) just like we pass parameters to any program through JCL.
Ex:
| Code: |
| EXEC PGM=IGYCRCTL,PARM='ARITH(EXTEND)' |
|

Hi
For Compiler option
//COBOL EXEC PGM=IGYCRCTL,PARM='ARITH(EXTEND)'
is not working for arithmatic operation.
I am getting
'IGYOS4003-E Invalid option "ARITH(EXTEND)" was found and discarded. '
Can you please suggest how i need to Pass ARITH to compiler. |

TRY THIS-
| Code: |
//STEPS1 EXEC PGM=IGYCRCTL,
// PARM=(ARITH(EXTEND)) |
or
| Code: |
//STEPS1 EXEC PGM=IGYCRCTL,
// PARM='ARITH(EXTEND)' |
or
| Code: |
| EXEC PGM=IGYCRCTL,PARM='ARITH(EXTEND)' |
All should work correctly. Can't even guess where you are making mistake in such a simple thing. 
Please post the whole compile step so that we can offer suggestions. |

What COBOL are you using?
Post the compile listing page header, that should have the version information.... |

That explains that, 18 is the max number of digits allowed, no ARITH(EXTEND) allowed.....
You are going to have to deal with the problem some other way..... |

I have a Amount which is 20 numerals in length...
I am multiplying this with another Amount Field and Storing in the same field.
Thats Y i need to perform this operation. If I use group variable and then multiply/add , i am not sure the resultant value would be correct......
Does Anyone have a Suggestion apart from this??? |

Hello,
What created this 20-numeral value?
If your compiler doesn't support it, was it built on some other system?
Is it possible that the value will never be that large/long?
What kind of value is stored in the number? |

| When you multiply a 20 byte number by anything larger then 1 you could end up with a number larger then 20 bytes. |

Yes , Thats y iam looking out for a way to store up to 31 digits , with Artih(extend)...
I have a Amount which is 20 numerals in length.
It does sometimes , get filled because , it is Total of Revenue /Expenses
Of an Company! ! So there is every need to accomodate that field with length greater than 18, that is usually supported... |

With the level of COBOL you are working with, it is not possible.....
"it is Total of Revenue /Expenses Of an Company".... How many thousands of trillions of whatever unit of currency? |

Please clarify how this can be true. The combined revenues of WalMart and Exxon-Mobil (the 2 largest companies in the world) is $698,393,000,000 (the sum of $351,139,000,000 and $347,254,000,000). This takes only 12 positions before the decimal. What kind of $ are you processing that takes more than that?
On your system, how is that "usually supported"? Doesn't sound like it could have been. . .
There is something you have not posted or that we are missing. . . |
