Answer / Shish Ram

In COBOL, 'Amode' stands for Auxiliary Mode, which controls the size of various areas used by the program. Specifically, amode(24) and amode(31) set the size of the Work Area to 24 and 31 characters respectively. 'Rmode' stands for Record Mode, which determines how data is read from and written to files. rmode(24) sets the record length to 24 characters. rmode(any) allows the program to handle records of varying lengths.

How can we find out wether to declare the data items like Integer, Char,Comp? If comp types how can we decide wether it is Comp and Comp3.How it is? Please Explain... Cheers.
