Answer Posted / dimpy19
try with this:
01 VARIABLE-ABC.
03 VAR-1 PIC 9(18).
03 VAR-2 PIC 9(2).
or
use PROCESS ARITH(EXTEND) before IDENTIFICATION DIVISION
ARITH option syntax
.-COMPAT-.
>>-ARITH(-+-EXTEND-+-)-----------------------------------------><
When you specify ARITH(EXTEND):
The maximum number of digit positions that you can specify in the PICTURE clause for packed-decimal, external-decimal, and numeric-edited data items is raised from 18 to 31.
