Hi

I need to convert a PIC S9(16)V9(2) COMP-3 variable into Alphanumeric one.
Please suggest how to go about it.

Thanks

Hello,

If you explain what you want as output, we will be able to help.

"Alphanumeric" is everything.

Show a few "input" values and how you want the alphanumeric value to be stored for those values.

I want PIC S9(16)V9(2) COMP-3 variable to be moved to a variable with PIC(X).
I want to know how can they be converted since I am getting SOC4 when I am trying to move it .

I also tried moving PIC S9(16)V9(2) COMP-3 to PIC 9(16)V9(2) and then to PIC(X) but it didn't work that way as well.

Hello,

To repeat:

Show a few "input" values and how you want the alphanumeric value to be stored for those values.

You have not done this. . .

I also tried moving PIC S9(16)V9(2) COMP-3 to PIC 9(16)V9(2)

This will work on every IBM mainframe. If it dd not work for you, it is because of invalid data.

then to PIC(X) but it didn't work that way

Comp-3 should not be moved to pic x fields.

To expand on my original request for data - show a few the comp-3 "input" values in hex. Also show how you want these stored after the move.

u can move any value to x(somthing), but u should move a valid value 9(somevalue)for always numeric or s9(some value)v9(some value) comp-3 for always computational values or else u need to intialiaze the value if it a wrong.

Please let me know if i'm wrong..

but u should maintain the length, if not it will truncate the value...

Can you give a few examples illustrating what you are trying to say, please?

What do you feel you may need to INITIALIZE?
