Hi,

I have a problem with cobol declaration for the following:

For a 6 digit field, Positive values in format 999.99 negative values in format -99.99, zero in format 000.00

Any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks,
Sudoku

Sudoku,

what happens if your input is less than or equal to -100.00 ? How are you planning to store the integer part in 2 digits as the leading byte is taken by the sign.

Kolusu,

We will never have -100.00. The value will always be between 999.99 and -99.99
One option I am thinking of is to use redefined structures and do a -ve check.

Eg: 05 A PIC 9(03).99
05 B REDEFINES A PIC -9(02).99

Any suggestions from your side!

Thanks,
Sudoku
