I am getting S00F abend when i try to compare two variable
of different pic class,one variable is of 9(09) and another
is S9(09) comp-3.

First i moved the data from S9(09) comp-3 to 9(09), but no
luck. So i tried to move the data from S9(09) comp-3 to X
(09) and move to 9(09). I am getting same error message,
Please help me to find solution for this ptoblem.

ERROR MESSAGE - "The system or user abend S00F R=NULL

Answer / eugene

You can't use move when doing math operations with
different data types / presentations.
Try compute statement to convert one of the numbers to the
same presentation as another one and then compare.

Like, A - pic
B - comp-3
Define W as comp-3

Compute W = A

compare W and B
