Answer / harsha

Create a layout(copybook) of your PS file. This layout
will have fields defined in COMP-3/COMP format etc...

Open the file in EDIT mode in File Manager/File Aid and
start inserting records.
Suppose first field on your PS file is defined as S9(5)COMP-
3. Now open the file in File Manager/File Aid, and insert
appropriate value. e.g. -12345. Save and close file.
Now open the file again in CHAR MOD(i.e. simply browse the
file) and put HEX ON, you will see the value below.
135
24D
It will occupy only three byte.
