Dear Friends,
I'm sorry about my previous answer. COMP-3 is always
efficient.
when COBOL uses COMP, it tries to align fields along
boundaries which is less efficient in retrieval and
computation.

Answer / praveen
when ever the data size is at higher boundries comp is best.
when ever the data size is at lower boundries comp-3 is
best.
lower boundries higher boundries
s9(01) s9(04) 2 bytes
s9(05) s9(09) 4bytes
s9(10) s9(18) 8bytes

Answer / jagan
Parry , While using COMP , the data can be retrieved
quicly , that is the advantage os storing data along word
boundaries .

Answer / praveen
for comp3 the caluclation of memory goes
for the datasize is even we go for formula n/2.
for the datasize is odd we go for formula n+1/2.
ex; s9(5) means 5 is odd 5+1/2=6/2=3
it takes 3 bytes of memory.
for comp s9(9) it takes 4 bytes of memory.
so here depending on the datasize we can say the
best.
so in above ex; we say comp3 is best because there is a
supression of memory i.e 3bytes compared to comp 4 bytes .

In terms of Storage, it will be comp-3 and for Arithmetic
computations, it will be comp

hi, can you ppl tell me, how to check whether the rewrite we gave for the ksds file is successful or not in the program.? i gave rewrite, the rewrite code is executing and maxcc=0 but updation doenot happen in the file?
