Hi.
I have to move one pic s9(8 ) comp with the value that can vary from 108 to 24000, to s9(4) comp.
How I can move + of 9999 for s9(4) comp?
(I cannot modify s9(4) comp)
Thanks.

An item defined as S9(1) through S9(4) COMP is stored as binary halfword(2 bytes) which can store values in range of -32768 through +32767
An item defined as S9(5) through S9(9) COMP is stored as binary fullword(4 bytes) which can store values in range of -2,147,483,648 through +2,147,483,647
Programs compiled with TRUNC(STD) will only let you store a max value of 9999 in a 2 byte binary field.
With TRUNC(BIN) Compiler option you can store up to 32767 in a 2 byte binary field.
So all you need is to add the following statement as the first line in your program
And check this link for a detailed explanation of the TRUNC compiler option.

Example pgm with TRUNC(BIN)
| Code: |
CBL TRUNC(BIN)
IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID. SAMPLE
ENVIRONMENT DIVISION.
DATA DIVISION.
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 WS-NUM PIC S9(04) COMP.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
MOVE 32767 TO WS-NUM
DISPLAY 'THE NUM VALUE: ' WS-NUM
GOBACK.

Hope this helps...
