Programming Forum and web based access to our favorite programming groups.I'm a novice in COBOL, and I've got a couple of questions. 1. Consider a CCB entry: 05 FIELD PIC S999V99. what will be size of data? From the manual it looks like the size should be 5, but how can I post negative values? 2. 05 FIELD PIC S999V99 USAGE DISPLAY. The same - what will be the size and how to distinguish +12345 and -12345. 3. 05 FIELD PIC 99999CR. Do CR/DB items have any representation in data? Please give examples of the data valid for this PIC clause. 4. 05 FIELD PIC 99999B. Does B have any influence on data? Please give examples. 5. What is the usage of N and G symbols, could you please give examples of C CB entry and corresponding data? In all the questions under 'data' I mean 'unedited' data which is present in the source data file. Thanks in advance.
