01 x pic s9(8) comp. How will the following value be internally allocated '18787' ..

Answer / kapil arya

Basically Comp Makes the word boundary.
(0 - 4) 2 Bytes (Half Word boundary)
(5-9) 4 Bytes (Full Word Boundary)
(10-18) 8 byte Double word Boundary

Because it is s9(8) Comp..
So I will take 4 byte to store the date.
And it will allocated like:
01 87 87 , will store in 3 byte and one byte will be free
or unused..
