hi ,
In my file I am using variable total-balance PIC 9(17) comp-3, Now if i am receiving total balance from CICS map,then can i move that value directly to the variable declared using comp-3, as comp-3 accepts hex values.
plz suggest..

Yes, if the map pic is 9(17) display and you have insured that leading spaces or dollar signs, imbedded commas and any other non-numeric characters are edited out.....

Hi,

You will have to use the redefine option .
