Answer / prasad
With the above answer we can achive decimal numeric
declaration but we will not achive double format
declaration.
To Declare double data type in COBOL we have to decalre
field with COMP-3.
Examples:
WS-NUM PIC 9(4) COMP-3. for non decimal numbers
WS-NUM1 PIC 9(4) v 99 COMP-3. For decimal values.

For COMP-2 we will not give PIC clause. By default it takes 8 bytes.
