I need to convert the following COMP/BINARY field
05 COUNTER PIC S9(9) COMP
into the regular usage as below
05 WS-COUNTER PIC 9(9).
Im refering to mainframe cobol(85).
Could any of you please let me know how to do this...
Im struck at this point............
Thanks in advance

I'd try
MOVE COUNTER TO WS-COUNTER
and see what that gets you...

Does your compiler have the full complement of logrithmic functions?

LX-i's solution is good but you may have to change your PIC to S9(10)
to accommodate the sign and the max value of the comp field.
PS - DD's suggestion is a good one too.

Oh, I *cannot* resist... some might say my suggestion is both hackneyed or
boring from much use, yet still contains a bit of verity...
.... others might say it is the old Trite and True.
