we are using cobol stored procedures. We want to conevrt alphanumeric to comp field in cobol.

Please see the following code. We are sending IN-AGE as '32' but in the database storing as 3200. Why we are missing here.

Code:

WORKING STORAGE SECTION.
01  WS-MOV-AGE     JUSTIFIED RIGHT PIC X(04) VALUE SPACES.
01   CNT-AGE           PIC S9(4) COMP.

LINKAGE SECTION.
01 IN-AGE                       PIC X(04).

PROCEDURE DIVISION USING   IN-AGE.

0100-BEGIN.
        MOVE  IN-AGE          TO WS-MOV-AGE
        MOVE WS-MOV-AGE    TO CNT-AGE
// Storing cnt-age in db2 database.   

Thanks,
Sant

Hi Sant,

You might want to try something like this (verify the syntax):
Code:
WORKING STORAGE SECTION.
01  WS-MOV-AGE      PIC S9(04).
01  CNT-AGE         PIC S9(4) COMP.

LINKAGE SECTION.
01 IN-AGE           PIC X(04).

PROCEDURE DIVISION  USING   IN-AGE.

0100-BEGIN.
    COMPUTE WS-MOV-AGE  = FUNCTION NUMVAL(IN-AGE)
    MOVE WS-MOV-AGE    TO CNT-AGE

// Storing cnt-age in db2 database.
