Answer Posted / nicx
The function NUMVAL can be used to change the X(19) to S
(17) and then moved to comp-3
Ex:
ws-variable PIC X(19)
ws-variable-1 PIC S9(17)
ws-variable-1 PIC S9(17) comp-3
Compute ws-variable-1 = function numval(ws-variable)
move ws-variable-1 to ws-variable-2.
Ofcourse you should be expecting a signed 9(17) value in
the ws-variable. Check out NUMVAL-C too. Both functions are
a great help in such situations.
