Answer Posted / nk
05 MY-NUM-ALPHA PIC X(9).
05 MY-NUM REDEFINES MY-NUM-ALPHA PIC S9(17) COMP-3.
MOVE 'ABCDEFGHI' to MY-NUM-ALPHA.
note that comp-3 stores 2 numbers per byte so 17 digits
takes 9 bytes (half of one byte stores the sign.) So you
could move a 19-character variable to a 9-byte field but it
will be truncated.
