Moving display to computational items

Hi,

I've got a file description with computational components, e.g.
05 REC-DATE PIC 9(08) COMP.

In the Working-Storage section, the date must be a display item for
several reasons, e.g. 77 W-DATE PIC 9(08).

How to move the content of the display to the comp field? A straight
move seems to work, but the result recorded in the file is erroneous.

Any hint?

TIA
Anguel
