Answer / ganesh

It will store INT ((n/2)+1) bytes for PIC S9(n) COMP_3;

Answer / swamy

Comp-3 fields occupy (n+1)/2 spaces , 1 being the sign

eg: Pic S9(7) COMP-3. Byte size = (7+1)/2 = 4
Pic S9(5)V99 COMP-3. Byte size = (5+2+1)/2 = 4

Answer / krishna

COMP-3 is hexa-decimal reprasention .the best at lower
boundaries.
If it have size is even it takes (n/2) bytes.
If it have size is odd it takes (n+1/2) bytes.
