Hi All,

I want to know the COMP-3 equivalent in C++ program. I m using zOS environment. As decimal data type is the data equivalent for the usage of packed decimal, when i tried including it in my program it throws me error at compilation. Further i came to know from the book C-C++ RUNTIME LIBRARY REFERENCE, that the decimal.h header file is not supported under z/OS C++ applications. May i know how can i handle COMP-3 variables in my C++ program. Thanks in Advance.

Cheers,
Siva.

Sivasankari,

z/OS C supports fixed-point (packed) decimal as a native data type for use in business applications. The packed data type is similar to the COBOL data type COMP-3 or the PL/I data type FIXED DEC, with up to 31 digits of precision. The Application Support Class Library provides the Binary Coded Decimal Class for C++ programs.
