This is the code:
-------------------------
01 B PIC X(7).
01 WS-VAR.
05 D PIC S9(9)V9(2) USAGE COMP-3.
Move B to D.
INSPECT WS-VAR
REPLACING ALL LOW-VALUES BY SPACES.
---------------------------
Now if B = 0001200
then D = 40400120400
but the right value of D should be = 00000120000
Here I cant change the declaration of D.
How to handle this problem? |

Debasis Misra,
You can use NUMVAL function as follows:
COMPUTE D = FUNCTION NUMVAL ( B )
Reference : NUMVAL
Thanks,
Shankar |

Debasis Misra,
Please check with the below code. NUMVAL result matches expected.
| Code: |
IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID. NV.
DATA DIVISION.
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 B PIC X(7).
01 WS-VAR.
05 D PIC S9(9)V9(2) USAGE COMP-3.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
MOVE '0001200' TO B
COMPUTE
D = FUNCTION NUMVAL ( B )
END-COMPUTE
DISPLAY D
GOBACK.
|
Output:
Thanks,
Shankar |

Hi shankar.v
I have executed the below code. I has been executed successfully.
May i know why we are bringing here NUMVAL?
| Code: |

PROGRAM-ID. NUMVAL.
ENVIRONMENT DIVISION.
DATA DIVISION.
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 A PIC X(7).
01 WS-VAR.
05 B PIC S9(9)V9(2) USAGE COMP-3.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
DISPLAY 'ENTER THE VALUE FOR A'.
ACCEPT A.
MOVE A TO B.
DISPLAY B.
STOP RUN.
OUTPUT:
|
ENTER THE VALUE FOR A

| The NUMVAL function returns the numeric value represented by the alphanumeric character string or national character string specified as the argument. The function removes any leading or trailing spaces in the string to produce a numeric value. |
Refer: NUMVAL
Thanks,

The FUNCTION NUMVAL replaces both the MOVE and the INSPECT. |

LOW VALUES are valid in a comp-3 field, it would just be two digits of zero. Tell us what are you trying to do? |

Two things are existing production code.
1. Declaration of 'D'
2. Inspect clause. because in actual program its applicable for many of other variables.
So, my doubt is that can I do some intermediate calculation before populating the "D" variable? |

Hello,

Suggest you do what is appropriate for this particular situation and leave the "other vairables" out of this.
You should not use a single MOVE a value of x'F0F0F0F1F2F0F0' to a comp-3 field - and there is no reason that you should. . .
Suggest you make sure you validate the value in the pic x field or there will be abends later when the input is not numeric. . . |

STOP!
Looking for low values in a comp3 data item will see two zeros in a row in the same byte as low values.
pic s9(7) value 1000 is x'F0F0F0F1F0F0C0'
pic s9(7) comp3 value 1000 is x'0001000C'
| Code: |
00000
12345
-----
00000
0100C |
where the zero over zero (bytes 1,3 & 4) is low values...... |

You've got the answer to your question: replace the 2 lines (MOVE and INSPECT) by a simple COMPUTE.
Why is there still a problem ?????
NB. The INSPECT statement just replaces correct values by garbage. If you leave it, it will never work, that's as easy as that! |
