Hi All,
I working PL/I program conversion from COBOLsource.
I want to know following COBOL code is to be converted to
PL/I code.
05. CONVCODE PIC S9(005)
LEADING SEPARATE.
Please let me know what is PL/I code.
Thanks,
Mansik |

I believe it would be
| Code: |
| 5 CONVCODE PIC'S99999', |

I write this topic on mt iphone.
So take miss spelled.
05 CONVCODE PIC S9(005).
I think same to "FIXED DEC(005)" in PL/I.
Please confirm.
Thanks,
Mansik. |

This should work:
| Code: |
DCL 05 CONVCODE PIC'-99999';

I don't think so - the Cobol field is not a COMP-3 field.

Mansik - should I suggest not to use that? 
You've posted the same topic twice and an another question twice for which Garry has already given an answer. |

| The TS being a "Software Consualtant" is probably very busy consulting a lot of different parties at the same time so a duplicate is very easily made. |

Depends on what the implications of LEADING SEPARATE are in COBOL (it's been a few decades, and I've forgotten), but PIC 'S(5)9' would give a "+" if the value is >= 0, and "-" otherwise. PIC '+(5)9' and '-(5)9' will give signs only if >=0 and <0, respectively.
And, of course, you wouldn't declare an 05-level variable in PL/I, any more than you would in COBOL; the code would be like
| Code: |
DCL 1 FOO UNAL,
5 CONVCODE PIC 'S(5)9', |

Akatsukami - I hope 'am not interpreting it wrong, however in COBOL - for minus sign -- if the sending item is negative, a minus sign is printed. If the sending item is positive, a space is printed instead. And for Plus sign -- if the sending item is negative, a minus in printed and if the sending item is positive, a plus is inserted. Later is used when one always want the sign printed. |

| Code: |
DCL P1 PIC 's9';
DCL P2 PIC '+9';
DCL P3 PIC '-9';
P1,P2,P3 = 1; PUT DATA(P1,P2,P3);
P1,P2,P3 = -1; PUT DATA(P1,P2,P3); |
Output:
| Code: |
P1=+1
P2=+1
P3= 1;
P1=-1
P2= 1
P3=-1; |
And in PL/I you use only FIXED DEC until the very last moment, i.e. the moment that you put your data into a format that needs to be read by mere mortals. Doing calculations with PIC variables is bad, very bad! |

That is true of COBOL; in PL/I, however, a "+" in the picture will print a space if the value is negative. A "S" prints either plus or minus sign depending on value.
ETA: After I wrote this, I noticed Mr. Prins' examples. |
