Once you read the dataset (using COBOL) move the numeric fields (comp1 & comp2) to some working storage variables defined with the same picture clause but without COMP.

This should be simplest way. Since your file has both COMP1 and COMP2 you cannot have a single convertion logic to convert everything back to readable numeric digits.

Thanks,

COMP-1 is single word floating and COMP-2 is double word floating

for COMP-1 move value to a S9(9) or more.

for COMP-2 move value to a S9(15) or more.
