Hi mathiprakash/radhakrishnan82,

Is not **?

COMPUTE C = 4 ** 3.
DISPLAY C.

You shall get 64.

Priyesh,

I tried but its not working at my end.I don't know whether its upto the compiler limit set.So I think power of operator works in cobol too.But i can't use it.Let me check with my admin.
Power of operator is **.
Muthu,
can u confirm whether you mean such operation for power of operator.
