Hi,

I have two fields which are comp-3 and having initial val as +50 as shown

Code:


01  WS-LINES-PRINTED               PIC S9(03) COMP-3 VALUE +50.
01  WS-PAGE-SIZE                   PIC S9(03) COMP-3 VALUE +50.


When i am comparing them it is giving me 0c7 error. Here is my comparision

Code:

IF WS-LINES-PRINTED = WS-PAGE-SIZE                           
   MOVE WS-PAGE-NO  TO HD01-PAGE-NO                           
   WRITE RPT-REC FROM HEAD-LINE-1 AFTER ADVANCING 1 LINE     
   WRITE RPT-REC FROM HEAD-LINE-2 AFTER ADVANCING 1 LINE     
   WRITE RPT-REC FROM HEAD-LINE-3 AFTER ADVANCING 1 LINE     
   WRITE RPT-REC FROM HEAD-LINE-4 AFTER ADVANCING 1 LINE     
   WRITE RPT-REC FROM HEAD-LINE-5 AFTER ADVANCING 1 LINE     
   WRITE RPT-REC FROM HEAD-LINE-6 AFTER ADVANCING 1 LINE     
   WRITE RPT-REC FROM HEAD-LINE-4 AFTER ADVANCING 1 LINE     
   MOVE +7 TO WS-LINES-PRINTED                               
   DISPLAY 'HELLO IN IF'                                     
   ADD +1 TO WS-PAGE-NO                                       
END-IF.                   
                                   


please help me in this issue.

regards,
rupesh gupta

Are you sure it gives S0C7 while comparing?

If you get S0C7, it means that there is non-numeric data involved.

Please check.

Hi Mathi,

Yes I have declared COMP-3 fileds and I am comparing them. I havn't initialized it anywhere

This is initializing :

MOVE +7 TO WS-LINES-PRINTED

If you try as assignment like :

WS-LINES-PRINTED = 7

you still get the 0C7?

Hi Rupesh,

Couple of suggestions ...

Just to be sure that you haven't modified the fields.. you can use a debugging tool to see the value what it is having at the time of comparison... or .. you could redefine the fields as ALPHANUMERIC and display these fields just before comparison.

It could also be an uninitialized WS-PAGE-NO......

Ten minutes of dump reading and the answer would be known, What assembler instruction does the PSW point to?

This S0C7 is not from comparision. I copied declaration & IF, works for me... Here is the code snippet


WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 WS-LINES-PRINTED PIC S9(03) COMP-3 VALUE +50.
01 WS-PAGE-SIZE PIC S9(03) COMP-3 VALUE +50.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
MAIN-PARA.
IF WS-LINES-PRINTED = WS-PAGE-SIZE
DISPLAY 'EQUAL'
ELSE
DISPLAY 'NOT EQUAL'
END-IF.
MAIN-EXIT.


Output is --> EQUAL

As CICSGuy said, it might be from WS-PAGE-NO...

It can be, but one of the compared values would need to be garbage, somehow stepped on. A Compare Packed will throw a data exception......

If one or both of the COMP-3 fields is elementary to a group-level, make sure no one is moving ZEROS (which are X'F0's) or anything else for that matter, to the group-level.

That will burn you every time....

Hi,

I am still getting the errors. Here are the display statements:

Code:

WS-LINES-PRINTED 0 
WS-PAGE-SIZE 3     
WS-PAGE-NO0002     


I tried to compare two values which are comp-3 as Bang_1 suggested and its running fine .. i am also not able to get why page no is displaying val 2 as have not increased its value any where.

regards,
rupesh

As CICS Guy said (and I don't want to beat on a dead horse), it could be that all you need to do is to initialize WS-PAGE-NO to a valid packed-decimal value of your choosing.

Have you tried this?

WS-PAGE-SIZE should have displayed as 4-Bytes numeric and it seems to be a static variable, initialized to +50, same with WS-LINES-PRINTED.

I'm with Bill and CICS Guy in this.
Do WS-PAGE-NO have an initial value ?

Not to beat a dead horse, but what assembler instruction does the PSW point to?
Compare Packed?
Zero and Add Packed?
Add Packed?
