Answer / rama krishna
It will be stored as follows:
01 23 4C
This is only internal storage representation. But if you
display the variable then you will see 1234 not even '+'.

Answer / suputhru
9(4) comp-3 takes 3 byets
each digit takes half byte.
-- -- -- 3bytes
numeric alignment is right to left <-----
first sign will store in half byte right. right.
c

4c

The comp-3 Variables are called packed decimals the values
internally stored in two digits in single byte and 0.5 byte

takes 3 bytes of space
1234 will occupy Two bytes and Sign takes 0.5 bytes
