You can display them, but they will appear non-numeric.
Move the field to a WS field defined as pic +9('number of
digits') and display the WS field to make the data user-
friendly.

Answer / vivekananda

We can't display COMP-3 directly so we have to move the value into another variable, check this given example.

01 A1 PIC S9(4) COMP-3 VALUE 1234.
01 A1-NUM PIC S9(4) VALUE ZEROES.
01 B1 PIC X(4).

MOVE A1 TO A1-NUM.
MOVE A1-NUM TO B1.
DISPLAY B1.

You can display the COMP-3 variable by redefining to numeric
variable.

Answer / antony

We will get the actual value of the variable, so we need to
either redefine or move that to an equivalent numeric
variable to display it.

10 Answers   Mascon,

Our issue is there seems to be a disconnect, or no link, between our SELECT statement and our SD. We had SELECT SORT-FILE and SELECT SORT-FILE ASSIGN TO SORTWRK. ASSIGN TO SORTWRK1 SORTWRK2 SORTWRK3 SORTWRK4. with SD SORT_FILE RECORD CONTAINS 7833 CHARACTERS. In either case, at run time, the system ignored our SORTWRK# DD statements and allocated 16 sort works with the SORTWK## naming convention. Any ideas why the system does not recognize the connection? We do not even need the SORTWRK DD statements. Thanks
