How do I convert comp to numeric in Cobol?
RE: moving COMP value to numeric value
- 01 val1-display PIC 99.99999. Very Important! I am presuming that you have remembered to initialize. the val1 by coding :-
- MOVE 0.324 TO VAL1. So now, add.
- MOVE VAL1 TO VAL1-DISPLAY. DISPLAY ‘VAL1-DISPLAY=>’ VAL1-DISPLAY. Let us know how you go.
How do you convert a packable decimal to a readable format?
To change this to readable format, you need to convert these numbers into ZONED Decimal (ZD) format. This can be accomplished using SORT. p,m,PD,TO=ZD converts the PD values to ZD values. By default, a 4-byte BI value produces a 7-byte ZD value, but LENGTH=6 override the default length to produce a 6-byte ZD value.
How many bytes would S9 9 v99 occupy?
Native binary (COMP-5) items
| PICTURE | Storage representation |
|---|---|
| S9(5) through S9(9) | Binary fullword (4 bytes) |
| S9(10) through S9(18) | Binary doubleword (8 bytes) |
| 9(1) through 9(4) | Binary halfword (2 bytes) |
| 9(5) through 9(9) | Binary fullword (4 bytes) |
How do you read packed decimal data in mainframe?
For example, on the mainframe the value 12,345 would be five (5) bytes in length (i.e. x’F1F2F3F4F5′). If the same information is stored in a packed-decimal (i.e. USAGE IS COMPUTATIONAL-3 or abbreviated as COMP-3) the field would be three (3) bytes in length (i.e. x’12345C’)….Introduction.
| Digit | Sign |
|---|---|
| 3 | C |
| 0011 | 1101 |
| 3 | D |
Can we move numeric to comp3 in COBOL?
Re: Moving Numeric to COmp 3 This will allow COBOL to handle the conversion between the PIC X internal storage format and the COMP-3 internal storage format. Moving a PIC X variable directly to a COMP-3 variable pretty much guarantees an abend as the internal formats are very different.
How do I move from comp3 to alphanumeric?
You cannot move a COMP-3 variable to alphanumeric directly.
What is the difference between zoned decimal and packed decimal?
specifies a method of encoding decimal numbers by using each byte to represent two decimal digits. Packed decimal representation stores decimal data with exact precision. The last byte contains the number’s sign as well as the last digit. Zoned decimal data produces a printable representation.
How do you convert decimal to ZD?
SORT: How to convert packed decimal to zoned decimal (PD to ZD)
- You can use DFSORT’s INREC, OUTREC or OUTFIL OUTREC statements to do this kind of conversion.
- OPTION COPY.
- You can use the LENGTH parameter to specify the length you want DFSORT to use for the ZD field.
- OPTION COPY.
What is the bytes occupied by S9 9 v9 2 Comp 3?
5 bytes. Quote: There are 2 digits for each character position, except for the trailing character position, which is occupied by the low-order digit and the sign.
How many bytes will a S9 8 Comp field occupy?
How many bytes will a S9( 8 ) COMP field occupy? 4 bytes.
What is packed format?
In the packed format, the rightmost byte stores the sign in its rightmost part, so the rightmost byte of packed format data contains only one digit. All other bytes in the packed format contain two digits, each with value in 0 – 9. The length may be from 1 to 16 bytes, or 1 to 31 decimal digits.
Can Comp-3 be converted to numeric?
You cannot move a COMP-3 variable to alphanumeric directly. It will not give a SOC7 error but will you give you a return code 12 stating that comp-3 and alphanumeric variables did not follow the move compatibility rule.
How to unpack and repack for fpkg on PS4?
Unpack, mod some files in the directory structure add files etc. Then repack and install. I will use Skyrim on PS3 and 360 CFW/JTAG/RGH machines for an example. Since Skyrim used the exact same directory structure on and files on PC/360/PS3 (minus the exe, EBOOT, xex being different). Everything else was the same, down to the config.ini files.
Why are the lines truncated in the ps command?
The lines are truncated because ps insists on using the value of $COLUMNS, even if the output is not the screen at that moment. Which is a bug, IMHO. But easy to work around, just make ps think you have a superwide screen, i.e. set COLUMNS high for the duration of the ps command.
Is there way to wrap lines in PS?
If you use either of the following commands, lines won’t be wrapped but you can use your arrow keys or other movement keys to scroll left and right. Lines are always wrapped for more and pg. When ps aux is used in a pipe, the w option is unnecessary since ps only uses screen width when output is to the terminal.
What are the output fields of the ps command in Unix?
Each vendor incorporates its own flags and outputs the results differently. However, most ps variants are rooted enough in either the System V or BSD syntax that entering ps -elf (System V) or ps alx (BSD) will produce something like the following: This particular example is from HP-UX, whose output is basically vanilla System V.
