hi. This is Ram.i have one doubt.why can't we display comp-3
variables directly? let me answer quickly plez........
Answer Posted / yuvaevergreen
Hi ram,
Comp-3 variables are generally used for high storage
efficiency. They are stored in packed decimal format
internally.So, display is possible only when the packed
decimal item is moved to a numeric edited item.

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
