hi. This is Ram.i have one doubt.why can't we display comp-3
variables directly? let me answer quickly plez........

Answer Posted / yuvaevergreen

Hi ram,
Comp-3 variables are generally used for high storage
efficiency. They are stored in packed decimal format
internally.So, display is possible only when the packed
decimal item is moved to a numeric edited item.
