Here given 05 WS-VAR2 redefines WA-VAR1 pic 9(5). means WA-VAR1 should be defined in working storage so while compiling it will throw the error. but excluding this next statement in procedure division is move abcde to ws-var1. means value of ws-var1 is =abcde

Dear Friends,

This is regarding COBOL comp.

PIC X(3) occupy the 3 bytes... but PIC 9(3)V9(7) COMP occupied how much bytes?

I said in interview that 10/2 = 5 bytes. V is specified for decimal point.

Is that correct? But interviewer looked at me differently when I said this answer?

If you are more confident, please reply this ...thanks...

We can store only 9 and S not V in comp ,if we want to store decimal use comp-3 not comp

N/2 for even number and than +1. (n+1/2) for odd number.
3+7=10
10/5= 5
5+1=6
