Answer / Munish Kumar

In COBOL, both external and global variables are used to store data that can be accessed by multiple procedures. However, there is a subtle difference: Global variables are visible to all procedures within the program, while external variables are visible to other programs as well.

Why do we use COMP-3 variables for computation, when we know that they are non displayable fields and require additional MOVE to numeric field before we populate it in output Reports?
