Dear Experts,
Can you please let me know the actual difference between the picture clauses 9(9) and S9(9)
How many bytes each will occupy ?
How will the sample data in each case ? |

| You are not specifying nearly enough information to answer your question. Are you looking at USAGE DISPLAY variables? USAGE COMP? USAGE COMP-3? Each of these will store a 9-digit numeric variable in a different number of bytes and the sign storage varies as well. |

After many hours of studying the RTFM I have concluded that 9(9) will always be treated as a positive number and s9(9) may be either positive or negative. |

I think you're thinking of SIGN LEADING SEPARATE.
The last byte will contain a value in the range of X'C0' through X'C9' (Positive) or in the range of X'D1' through X'D9' (Negative).
If it were unsigned, the last byte would contain a value in the range of X'F0' through X'F9'.
Please make an effort and review the manuals beforehand as you seem to be struggling with this and it irritates most of us that you expect the answer as some sort of entitlement.

[confused]
I enquire, are you clear with usage of s over here?
s is used to store the sign bit.
Therefore, as Craq Giegerich has posted its absolutely correct.
[wink]
One more addition to that reply is that if you display s9(9) the last bit will get corrupted where as in 9(9) it won't because to display s9(9) you need edited picture clause. |

There is no corruption - that is the displayable value of the signed digit. . . |
