Answer / ankit

it will work normally until the data fetched is of 4 bytes
but if it will be fetching a data of 5 bytes, then a
exception will occur and program will abend with abend code
SOC7.

Answer / mohit

Nothing critical will happen.. I will make understand with
example below:

Consider some 2 bytes as * are before that variable as $
and then rest copybook as & , so after changing table
layout will look like:

**$$$$&&&&&& and program will layout as
**$$$$$&&&&&&. So, now what happens table always passes
something as 4 bytes to 5 bytes which easily is compatible
with a bigger space. So, you will see a space actually
which might disturb your output.

There is a variable with value 19446. Requirement is to convert it to 194.46. I tried it by doing divide by 100 and my receiving field data type is 9(03)v99. But the output is 194. I am not getting the decimal value. Could anyone pls let me know how to get this done?
